i  vol.  post  8vo,  2  pr.  11.  (half -tit.  and  tit.),  pp.  1-112.   Paris. 

A  general  essay  on  the  (then)  recent  progress  in  natural  science.  On.  pp.  74-89 
and  92-112  are  a  "Tableau  des  Sous-Classes,  Divisions,  Sous-Divisions,  Ordres 
et  Genres  des  Oiseaux"  and  a  "Table  M6thodique  de  la  Classe  des  Mammi- 
feres."  These  appear  to  be  the  "Tableaux  M6thodiques  des  Mammiferes  et  des 
Oiseaux"  first  published  in  1799  in  the  author's  "Discours  d'Ouverture  et  de 
Cl&ture  du  Cours  d'Histoire  Naturelle,"  etc.  (Cf.  Richmond,  Auk,  16,  pp. 
325-329,  1899  and  I.e.  17,  pp.  166-167,  1900.).  On  pp.  72-73  and  90-91  are 
supplements  to  the  "Tableau"  and  "Table,"  containing  references  to  various 
authors  whose  recent  works  may  be  consulted  for  additions  to  the  lists  of 
genera  and  subgenera  here  published.  The  arrangement  of  the  new  genera  of 
birds  in  these  lists  is  the  same  as  copied  by  Richmond  (I.e.,  17,  p.  167)  from 
Lacepede' s  original  Tableaux  and  it  appears  probable,  therefore,  that  the  tables 
have  not  been  altered  here,  but  I  am  unable  to  state  this  definitely  in  the

absence  of  the  original  work.  Although  the  title-page  bears  the  date,  1818,  the 
general  text  (p.  71)  is  dated  December  12,  1818,  and  Engelmann  quotes  the 
work  under  date  of  the  following  year,  which  is  probably  correct.  The  present 
copy  is  bound  with  Vol.  XII  of  Lace"pede's  "Oeuvres  Completes  de  Buffon, 
Nouvelle  (Rapet)  Ed.,"  1817-19  (Cf.  Buffon,  1818.).  It  forms  a  sort  of  appendix 
or  supplement  to  this  work  and  was  originally  intended  to  be  issued  with 
Vol.  XII;  a  note  by  the  publishers  on  p.  566  of  that  volume  announces  that  it 
will  form  a  separate  volume  which  will  be  issued  separately  a  month  later  and 
supplied  free  to  subscribers.  It  therefore  may  be  considered  to  form  a  distinct 
publication  under  its  own  title.

A  synonymic,  distributional  catalogue,  without  descriptions.  I  can  find  no  infor- 
mation relative  to  its  manner  of  publication  except  that  much  the  same  subject 
matter  was  covered  by  the  author  in  articles  published  in  the  Bulletin  de  la 
Societ6  d'Histoire  Naturelle  de  Toulouse,  1872-75.  The  present  work  may  be  a 
compilation  of  these,  published  in  1875.  The  preface,  dated  April  9,  1873, 
begins  on  a  page  whose  heading  is  the  title  of  one  of  the  articles,  not  of  the 
complete  work.-reading,  "Catalogue  raiscrine"  des  Oiseaux  Observes  sur  le

tains the  bookplate  of  F.'D.  Godman.

A  rare  paper  on  the  general  classification  of  Passerine  birds,  including  the  descrip- 
tions of  two  new  species,  "Turdus  nivei-capillus"  (p.  16)  and  "Argya  luctuosa" 
(p.  22).  It  appears  to  be  a  separate  work  but  Bangs  and  Penard  (Bull.  Mus. 
Comp.  Zool.,  63,  No.  2,  p.  31,  June  1919)  cite  it  as  having  some  connection

with  the  Memoires  de  la  Socie'te'  acaddmique  des  Sciences,  Arts  et  Belles-

evidently  an  error.

A  detailed  account  of  the  birds  of  Wurtemberg.  This  is  the  author's  own  copy 
with  marginal  annotations  and  64  11.  of  manuscript  notes.  Some  of  these  notes 
were  published  subsequently  by  the  author  in  various  places.  The  illustrations 
are  all  extras  and  comprise  13  plates,  two  of  which  are  original  drawings,  2 
apparently  unpublished  lithographs,  8  lithographs  prepared  for  publication  as 
pll.  I-V,  VIII,  IX  and  XI  of  the  author's  "Naturgeschichte  und  Abbildungen 
sammtlicher  Vogel  Europa's"  (which  never  appeared),  and  i  etching  of  uncer- 
tain origin.  There  are  also  appended  two  supplements  which  appear. to  have 
been  published  in  the  "Correspondenzblatt  des  landwirtschaftlichen  Vereins" 
where  the  present  work  made  its  first  appearance;  I  am  unable  to  fix  any  dates 
for  them.  A  reference  in  each  of  the  supplements  indicates  that  the  general 
work  appeared  in  the  "Corr.  Bl.  des  landw.  Vereins,  Jahrgang  1835,  Bd.  I, 
H(eft)  i,  S.  17,"  a  year  later  than  the  date  on  the  title-page  of  the  separate 
reprint.  A  manuscript  note  by  Homeyer  on  the  inside  of  the  front  cover  explains 
the  origin  of  the  present  copy.

The  report  on  the  zoology  of  the  voyage  of  La  Favorite.  This  forms  the  fifth 
volume  of  text  of  the  complete  report  of  1833-39,  which  embraces  5  vols.  text 
and  2  vols.  plates  (not  including  the  plates  in  the  present  volume).  It  consists 
of  a  reprint  of  various  papers  which  appeared  in  the  "Magasin  de  Zoologie" 
during  the  years  1836-39.  The  ornithological  portion,  which  occupies  pp.  29-64 
quater.  of  Pt.  II  and  pll.  10-25,  appeared  in  the  "Magasin"  as  follows.  Pp.  29-64 
and  pll.  10-24  appeared  in  1836  as  pp.  3-37  (pagination  separate)  and  pll. 
62-76,  one  leaf  (pp.  1-2)  being  occupied  by  a  title-page,  not  reprinted;  pp.  64 
bis-64  quater.  and  pi.  25  appeared  in  1838  as  pp.  1-3  (pagination  separate)  and 
pi.  86.  The  text  of  the  reprint  is  practically  identical  with  its  original,  although 
there  are  minor  alterations;  pi.  18  (70  in  the  original)  is  labeled  Passerina 
montana  instead  of  P.  guttata,  an  error  which  is  corrected  on  p.  49,  footn. 
There  are  some  differences,  also,  in  the  coloration  of  the  plates.  The  ornithologi- 
cal text  is  the  work  of  Eydoux  and  Gervais;  the  plates  are  by  E.  Travi^s, 
G.  PrStre  and  A.  Prevost.

338.  London. 

A  little  work  of  considerable  scope  in  which  the  author  reviews  the  entire  class, 
Aves.  Pt.  I  relates  to  the  "structure  and  natural  history  of  birds  in  general"; 
Pt.  II,  to  the  "bibliography,  nomenclature  and  preservation"  (=taxidermy) 
"of  birds";  Pt.  Ill,  to  the  "natural  history  and  relations  of  the  different  orders, 
tribes,  and  families  of  birds";  Pt.  IV  contains  a  "synopsis  of  a  natural  arrange- 
ment of  birds"  in  which  families  and  genera  are  described  (some  of  the  genera 
being  new)  and  characteristic  species  are  listed.  Pt.  V,  intended  for  this  work 
and  containing  descriptions  of  numerous  species,  was  issued  in  1837  as  Pt.  Ill 
of  "Animals  in  Menageries"  (q.v.),  another  volume  of  the  present  series  of 
"The  Cabinet  Cyclopaedia."  Some  new  species  are  named  in  the  present  work 
in  various  parts  of  the  text.  Vol.  I  contains  Pts.  I,  II  and  a  portion  of  III; 
Vol.  II  completes  the  work.  The  numerous  text-figures  are  mostly  illustrative 
of  morphological  details  and  are  of  excellent  quality,  being  drawn  by  the 
author.  The  text  is  not  entirely  reliable  since  many  of  the  author's  statements 
are  strained  to  accord  with  the  "Quinary  System"  of  classification,  adopted 
throughout.  Sherborn  (Index  Animalium,  Sect.  2,  Pt.  i,  p.  CXXI,  1922)  cites 
Vol.  I  under  date  of  Oct.  1836  and  II,  under  date  of  June  1837 ;  Richmond  (Auk, 
*7»  P-  !79»  1900)  quotes  Vol.  II  under  date  of  July,  1837. 

In  the  present  copy,  the  original  title-pages  bearing  the  words,  "The  Cabinet 
Cyclopaedia,"  have  been  replaced  by  the  substitute  title-pages  reading,  "The 
Cabinet  of  Natural  History."  These  substitute  title-pages  appear  to  have  been 
issued  with  certain  volumes  to  permit  all  the  works  relating  to  natural  history 
to  be  segregated,  if  desired,  under  their  own  special  heading.

Accounts  of  the  habits  and  peculiarities  of  mammals  and  birds  found  in  menageries 
and  aviaries  or  suitable  for  preservation  therein;  compiled  from  various  sources. 
This  was  the  original  content  of  the  work  (Pts.  I  and  II),  but  a  third  part  was 
added  to  include  matter  which  had  been  omitted,  through  necessity,  from  a 
former  work,  "On  the  Natural  History  and  Classification  of  Birds,"  1836-37 
(q.v.),  in  the  same  series  as  the  present  volume.  This  added  matter  was  origin- 
ally intended  to  form  Pt.  V.  (Vol.  II)  of  that  treatise  and  is  cited  as  such  in  the 
text  of  the  volume,  itself,  as  well  as  in  the  author's  "Birds  of  Western  Africa," 
1837  (q.v.).  A  note  on  the  unpaged  leaf  in  Vol.  II  of  the  "Nat.  Hist,  and  Classif. 
of  Birds"  and  a  footnote  on  p.  244  of  Vol.  II  of  the  "Birds  of  Western  Africa"  ex- 
plain the  necessity  for  omitting  the  paper  from  its  indicated  position  (owing  to 
the  bulk  of  the  volume)  and  state  the  plan  to  publish  it  in  connection  with  a  later 
volume  of  the  series,  as  was  done  herewith.  The  note  in  the  "Birds  of  Western 
Africa"  further  states  that  "proof  sheets  have  been  forwarded  to  our  most  dis- 
tinguished ornithologists,"  a  circumstance  which  may  constitute  a  prior  publica- 
tion of  the  subject  matter,  dating  between  June  and  September,  1837.  The  pa- 
per is  important  since  it  consists  of  descriptions  and  notes  on  the  habitat  of  229 
species,  i  genus  and  i  subgenus  of  birds,  most  of  which  are  new. 

The  present  volume  bears  the  date  1838  but  Sherborn  (Index  Animalium, 
Sect.  2,  Pt.  i,  p.  CXXI,  1922)  gives  the  date  of  publication  as  December  1837. 
The  work  forms  Vol.  98  of  "The  Cabinet  Cyclopaedia."

A  series  of  descriptions  and  colored  plates  of  birds  of  the  world,  arranged  under 
vernacular  names  but  with  a  list  of  synonyms  under  each,  including  Linnaean 
binomials.  At  the  completion  of  the  work,  the  author  prepared  an  "Index 
Ornithologicus,"  1790  (q.v.),  in  which  a  scientific  nomenclature  is  adopted  for 
the  species.  He  also  issued  a  "Supplement,"  1787,  and  a  "Supplement  II," 
1801  (q.v.),  to  the  present  work,  and  after  the  completion  of  the  second  supple- 
ment issued  a  "Supplementum  Indicis  Ornithologici,"  1801  (q.v.),  to  establish 
the  nomenclature  of  the  forms  therein.  Considerably  later,  a  new  edition  of  the 
work  was  issued  under  the  title  of  "A  General  History  of  Birds,"  1821-28  (q.v.). 
An  edition  in  German,  revised  and  supplemented  by  Bechstein,  appeared  in 
1793-1812  (Cf.  Latham,  Johann  Lathams  Allgemeine  Uebersicht  der  Vogel.). 
Of  the  present  series  of  works,  the  edition  was  500  copies  except  of  "Supple- 
ment II"  which  Latham  states  (Gen.  Hist.  Bds.  i,  p.  VI)  was  published  by  his 
booksellers  and  not  by  himself  and  limited  to  250  copies.  The  preface  to  Vol. 
I  Pt.  i  is  dated  Jan.  i,  1781 ;  of  II  Pt.  I,  Dec.  i,  1783;  of  HI  Pt.  I,  May  2,  1785.

This  volume  contains  revisory  notes  on  some  of  the  species  of  birds  treated  by  the 
author  in  his  "General  Synopsis,"  1781-85  (q.v.),  with  additional  species  dis- 
cussed in  full  as  in  the  earlier  work.  Species  and  plates  are  numbered  in  con- 
tinuance of  the  series  in  the  "General  Synopsis"  and  are  included,  likewise,  in 
the  "Index  Ornithologicus,"  1790  (q.v.).  A  detailed  "List  of  the  Birds  of  Great 
Britain"  occupies  pp.  281-298.  The  preface  of  this  supplement  is  dated  May  i, 
1787.  A  second  supplement  followed  in  1801  (q.v.).

A  systematic  catalogue  of  the  birds  of  the  world,  based  on  the  author's  "General 
Synopsis  of  Birds,"  1781-85  (q.v.),  and  the  first  "Supplement"  thereto,  1787 
(q.v.).  It  contains  Latin  diagnoses  of  the  species,  genera  and  higher  groups  and 
assigns  binomial  names  to  the  species  which,  in  the  earlier  works,  were  dis- 
cussed under  vernacular  names.  Synonymy,  habitat  and  diagnostic  notes, 
aside  from  the  descriptions,  are  given  for  each  species.  Mathews  (Birds  of 
Australia,  Suppl.  4,  p.  75,  1925)  states  that  it  was  acknowledged  by  the  Philos. 
Soc.,  London,  on  Dec.  9.  A  "Supplementum  Indicis  Ornithologici"  (q.v.) 
followed  the  present  work  in  1801  and  supplied  the  same  details  for  the  "Sup- 
plement II,"  1801  (q.v.),  as  are  given  herein  for  the  original  work  and  first 
"Supplement."

An  edition,  in  German,  of  Latham's,  "A  General  Synopsis  of  Birds,"  1781-85,  and 
the  first  "Supplement"  thereto,  1787  (q.v.)  (comprising  Vols.  I-III)  and  of  the 
"Index  Ornithologicus,"  1790  (q.v.)  (comprising  Vol.  IV).  Much  additional 
matter  is  added  by  the  translator  and  editor,  Bechstein.  A  large  part  of  the 
addenda  to  Vol.  I  is  added  at  the  close  of  the  volume  (pp.  651-738  and  pll. 
"Zus."  i  and  2)  under  the  separate  title-page,  "Anhang  zum  ersten  Bande,"

plates,  for  the  most  part,  are  reproductions  of  those  in  Latham's  original  work. 
Pts.  I  and  II  of  Vol.  IV  contain  additional  title-pages  lettered,  "Kurze  Ueber-

A  systematic  list  of  oriental  or  near-oriental  animals  with  their  Latin  binomial 
names,  mostly  copied  from  the  second  edition  of  Pennant's  "Indian  Zoology," 
1791  (q.v.),  and  published  here  as  an  extract  (with  additional  title-page)  from 
Forster's  "Indische  Zoologie  .  .  .  Zweite  Auflage,"  1795.  The  history  of  the 
publication  is  as  follows.  In  1769  Pennant  published  (in  English  and  French) 
his  "Indian  Zoology,"  which  was  left  more  or  less  incomplete.  His  materials 
were  turned  over  to  Forster  who,  in  1781,  published  his  "Zoologia  Indica"  or 


1926.  CATALOGUE  OF  AYER  LIBRARY — ZIMMER.  375 

"Indische  Zoologie"  (in  Latin  and  German), -a  translation  of  Pennant's  work 
with  the  addition  of  three  more  plates  (supplied  by  Pennant),  the  descriptions 
of  the  three  birds  and  two  fishes  figured  thereon,  and  other  matter  left  unfin- 
ished or  not  supplied  by  Pennant,  including  a  brief  'faunula'  or  list  of  Indian 
animals.  In  1791,  Pennant  issued  a  second  edition  of  his  own  work,  consisting 
of  a  reprint  of  his  first  edition  and  an  English  translation  (not  strictly  literal 
as  regards  descriptions  of  species)  of  the  additions  made  by  Forster,  and  with 
the  further  addition  of  "The  Indian  Faunula"  entirely  rewritten  and  enlarged 
by  Latham  and  Davies  (Davies  being  the  author  of  the  ornithology  in  it). 
In  1795,  Forster  published  a  reprint  of  his  first  translation,  to  which  he  added 
"The  Indian  Faunula"  of  Latham  and  Davies  with  certain  additions  of  his 
own,  and,  the  same  year,  issued  this  portion  separately,  with  added  title-page, 
as  collated  above.  The  original  list  published  in  Pennant's  work  (1791),  con- 
tained English  names  for  the  mammals  and  birds  but  Latin  names  for  the  rest 
of  the  animals.  The  revised  list  in  Forster  (1795)  contains  Latin  names  through- 
out but  is  credited  by  Forster  to  Latham  and  Davies  except  for  the  additional 
species  which  he  credits  to  himself.  Presumably  the  ornithological  portion 
remains  the  work  of  Davies  in  so  far  as  it  retains  the  species  of  the  old  list. 
The  ornithological  additions  by  Forster  are  not  always  easily  discernible,  but 
in  most  cases  Davies's  names  may  be  recognized  as  the  Latin  forms  of  the 
English  terms  used  in  Pennant,  and,  by  elimination,  the  new  names  may  be 
recognized.  (Cf.  Allen,  Bull.  Am.  Mus.  Nat.  Hist.  24,  Art.  5,  pp.  in-ii6, 
Febr.  7,  1908.)

A  second  supplement  to  the  author's  "General  Synopsis,"  1781-85  (q.v.),  listing 
all  the  species  treated  in  the  original  work,  in  the  first  "Supplement"  and  in 
the  present  work,  revising  the  former  discussions  where  necessary,  and  adding 
some  new  species.  Consecutive  numbering  of  species  and  plates  follows  that  of 
the  earlier  volumes.  The  "Supplementum  Indicis  Ornithologici,"  1801  (q.v.), 
including  the  species  in  this  volume  only,  is  bound  with  the  present  volume 
and  may  have  been  issued  with  it.  The  date  of  the  present  volume  is  somewhat 
in  doubt.  The  present  copy  is  dated  "MDCCCI"  as  quoted  above,  but  Engel- 
mann  cites  "1802,"  while  Mullens  &  Swann  note  "MDCCCII,"  adding  that 
the  last  numeral  appears  to  have  been  added  after  the  work  was  printed.  All 
the  plates  in  the  "Supplement  II"  bear  the  legend,  "Published  as  the  Act 
directs  May  30,  1801,  by  Leigh,  Sotheby  &  Son,  York  Street,  Covent  Garden." 
This  volume  was  issued  directly  by  the  publishers  to  whom  Latham  disposed 
of  his  manuscript,  whereas  in  the  earlier  volumes  the  author  retained  owner- 
ship until  just  prior  to  the  publication  of  the  present  work  (Cf.  Latham,  General 
History  of  Birds"  i,  p.  VI.).  The  impression  of  the  present  volume  was  reduced 
to  250  copies.

A  new  edition  of  the  author's  "General  Synopsis  of  Birds/'  1781-85  (q.v.),  rewrit- 
ten and  enlarged  to  include  the  species  treated  in  the  two  supplements  to  that 
work  as  well  as  forms  discovered  since  their  publication.  The  nomenclature  is 
vernacular  except  for  the  scientific  names  mentioned  in  the  synonymy,  and 
the  new  species  described  in  the  work  were  left  for  later  authors  to  name. 
Most  of  the  plates  present  the  same  figures  of  birds  as  are  given  in  the  earlier 
work;  some  of  them  are  new.  The  "Index,"  in  the  present  copy  is  bound  in, 
intact,  at  the  close  of  Vol.  X,  but  it  was  issued  in  such  form  as  to  be  divided 
into  sections,  if  so  desired,  with  the  index  to  each  volume  attached  to  its  own 
letterpress.

A  revised  edition  of  Layard's  "Birds  of  South  Africa,"  published  in  Cape  Town  in 
1867  (q.v.).  The  revised  work  eliminates  the  descriptions  of  genera  and  higher 
groups  and  the  more  detailed  references  included  in  the  original  work  and 
consists  of  descriptions  of  the  species  with  accounts  of  the  habits  and  distribu- 
tion of  each.  The  work  appeared  in  6  parts  as  follows  (from  current  reviews  in 
the  Ibis).  Part  I,  pp.  1-80,  pll.  II  and  IX,  May  1875;  II,  pp.  81-160,  pll.  XI

tematic  list  of  species  does  not  agree  in  all  the  details  of  nomenclature  with 
the  general  text.  The  latter  contains  numerous  descriptions  of  new  species 
and  genera.  These  are  to  be  accredited  to  Sharpe  who,  as  editor  of  the  new 
edition,  rewrote  many  parts  of  it  and  added  much  new  matter.

A  series  of  descriptions  of  new  or  noteworthy  species  and  genera  of  animals, 
accompanied  by  hand-colored  plates.  The  work  is  a  continuation  of  Shaw  and 
Nodder's  "Naturalist's  Miscellany."  Vols.  I  and  II  were  issued  in  parts, 
according  to  a  statement  in  an  advertisement  at  the  close  of  Vol.  Ill;  Vol.  Ill 
appears  to  have  been  issued  entire.  An  examination  of  the  signatures  in  Vols.  I 
and  II  shows  various  places  where  there  are  less  than  four  leaves  to  a  signature, 
and,  as  these  occur  at  more  or  less  regular  intervals,  it  seems  probable  that  they 
mark  the  ends  of  the  various  parts.  According  to  these  marks,  the  following 
arrangement  of  parts  is  suggested.  Vol.  I;  pp.  1-18,  19-28,  29-38,  39-48,  49-58, 
59-7O,  71-80,  81-92,  93-102,  103-114,  115-126,  127-138,  139-144  (indices  and 
advt.).  Vol.  II;  pp.  1-12,  13-28  (27-28  are  blank),  29-44?,  45-6o,  61-76?,  77-88,

Vol.  II,  pi.  80  was  issued  with  the  part  containing  p.  59  where  there  is  a  state- 
ment that  the  explanation  of  this  plate  will  appear  with  the  following  number; 
it  occurs  on  p.  61.  It  seems  that  five  plates,  in  serial  order,  accompanied  the 
first  12  parts  of  each  volume.  Pll.  1-4  (of  Vol.  I)  are  dated  "Jany.  1814,"  6-8, 
"Feby.  1814,"  14,  "March  1814."  The  final  part  of  these  first  two  volumes

in  Vol.  I,  p.  144  is  an  advertisement  of  a  work  said  to  have  been  published  on 
Jan.  i,  1815,  and  on  the  last  page  of  Vol.  II  is  a  similar  advertisement  for  a 
work  which  "was  published"  Jan.  i,  1815.  Vol.  Ill  was  planned  to  appear 
Jan.  ir  1817,  according  to  a  statement  at  the  close  of  Vol.  II. 
There  is  only  one  full  title-page  for  all  three  volumes.

A  catalogue  of  specimens  giving  the  Latin  and  English  names,  sex,  locality  and 
donor.  The  matter  is  arranged  as  if  on  specimen  labels,  which  fact,  coupled 
with  the  exceeding  rarity  of  the  original  book,  has  led  to  the  belief  that  the  work 
was  printed  for  the  express  purpose  of  being  cut  into  actual  labels  but  that  it  was 
never  published.  For  a  long  time,  only  one  copy  (that  in  the  British  Museum) 
was  known,  but  another  copy  has  come  to  light  in  the  Academy  of  Natural 
Sciences  of  Philadelphia.  This,  together  with  the  fact  that  the  preface  contains 
a  statement  to  the  effect  that  species  not  enumerated  in  the  list  are  desiderata 
and  will  be  acceptable  (followed  by  a  list  of  species  not  represented  in  the 
collection),  seems  to  prove  that  the  paper  was  actually  published  and  dis- 
tributed. There  are  no  descriptions  and  the  new  specific  names,  used  in  the 
paper,  are  nomina  nuda,  but  the  generic  names  are  tenable  although  some  of 
them  are  antedated  by  Koch's  "System  der  Baierischen  Zoologie,"  published 
before  July  the  same  year  (Cf.  Richmond,  Proc.  U.  S.  Nat.  Mus.,  35,  No. 
1656,  Dec.  16,  1908,  p.  621,  footn.  a.).  Leach's  preface  is  dated  August  30, 
1816.  The  present  copy  is  a  reprint  published  by  The  Willughby  Society  (q.v.). 
A  preface  by  Salvin  gives  a  short  review  of  the  work.

A  series  of  hand-colored  lithographs,  beautifully  executed,  without  descriptive 
text.  The  work  is  noted  for  its  artistic  value  combined  with  accuracy  of  por- 
trayal. The  work  was  issued  in  12  parts,  the  contents  of  all,  and  the  dates  of 
some,  of  which  Mathews  (Austr.  Av.  Record  i,  pp.  23-24,  1912)  has  recorded 
from  the  original  wrappers,  as  follows.  The  numbers  (used  for  brevity  to 
replace  the  names)  are  according  to  the  list  of  plates  on  the  last  leaf  of  text  in

A  series  of  splendid,  full-page  photogravures  showing  the  nests  and  nesting  sites 
of  some  122  species  of  British  birds.  The  text  consists  of  a  general  discussion 
of  the  habits  of  each  species  with  descriptions  of  the  subjects  of  each  plate  and 
the  circumstances  under  which  the  photograph  was  taken.  The  book  was 
,  issued  in  16  parts  of  10  plates  each,  -Pt.  I  in  1896,  II-VH  in  1897,  Vlll-XII 
in  1898,  and  XJH-XVI  in  1899.  The  author's  ill  health  prevented  the  com-

382  FIELD  MUSEUM  OF  NATURAL  HISTORY — ZOOLOGY,  VOL.  XVI. 

A  series  of  hand-colored  lithographs  (numbered  1-136  by  hand),  without  text 
other  than  the  legends  which  contain  the  common  and  scientific  names  of  the 
species  quoted  from  Temminck,  Gould,  Naumann  and  Bonaparte.  One  plate 
is  devoted  to  each  species  and  several  varieties  of  coloration  are  often  figured. 
Some  of  the  plates  are  moderately  good  but  others  are  very  poorly  executed. 
Seventeen  parts,  of  eight  plates  each,  are  present  and  appear  to  comprise  all 
published.  There  is  no  title  except  that  on  the  original  wrappers  as  transcribed 
above.  The  cover  of  Pt.  i  is  placed  in  the  front  of  the  volume  in  lieu  of  a  title- 
page;  the  remaining  covers  are  bound  together  at  the  close.  These  wrappers 
are  identical  except  for  the  hand-written  number  and  are  dated  1844.  One 
wrapper  is  numbered  "4-6"  and  one,  "8-10";  the  remainder  each  bear  a  single 
number.  The  third  page  of  each  contains  a  statement  to  the  effect  that  the 
work  was  supposed  to  appear  monthly.  The  Zool.  Soc.,  London,  catalogues  a 
copy  with  a  French  title,  dated  1848;  I  can  find  no  other  references.

The  first  of  a  series  of  three  volumes  dealing  with  the  hummingbirds.  The  present 
volume  was  succeeded  by  the  "Histoire  Naturelles  des  Colibris,"  1830-32 
(q.v.),  and  "Les  Trochilide'es,"  1832-33  (q.v.).  The  date  of  publication  of  the 
present  volume  is  somewhat  in  doubt.  Coues  asserts  that  the  work  began  in 
January  1829  and  ended  in  September  1829,  but  Giebel,  Engelmann,  Agassiz, 
the  Zoological  Society  of  London,  the  Library  of  the  British  Museum  (Natural 
History),  and  others,  cite  1829-30.  Cuvier  in  the  second  edition  of  "Le  Regne 
Animal,"  Vol.  Ill,  p.  385,  1830  (preface  to  volume  dated  March  1830),  remarks 
that  the  work  in  question  was  then  in  course  of  publication.  The  Catalogue  of 
the  Library  of  the  British  Museum  (Natural  Histury),  quoting  the  "Biblio- 
graphic de  la  France"  assigns  livrs.  i-io  to  the  year  1829  and  the  remainder 
of  the  volume  to  1830.  Sherborn  (Index  Animalium,  Sect.  2,  Pt.  i,  p.  LXXX, 
1922)  says,  "pp.  1-144,  pis.  I-XL,  1829;  145-224,  XLI-XLVI,  1830."

The  work  was  issued  in  17  livraisons  and  the  signatures  are  as  follows.  Pre- 
liminary matter,  4 11.  (without  sign.),  the  preface  dated  Jan.  10,  1829;  signs,  "b" 
and  "c",  table  of  species,  dated  May  1829;  sign,  "d,"  completion  of  table  and  a

"Des  Colibris"  are  divided  and  bound  with  the  text  to  both  in  one  volume  and 
the  plates  in  a  second  volume.  A  third  volume  in  uniform  binding  consists  of 
the  author's  "Histoire  Naturelle  des  Oiseaux  de  Paradis  et  des  Epimaques," 
1834-35,  (q.v.),  text  and  plates.  The  volume  of  plates  in  the  present  copy  is 
prefaced  by  the  front  wrapper  of  Livraison  1 7  of  the  present  title,  which  bears 
the  following  inscription  surrounded  by  a  broad,  figured  border.  "Histoire

used  throughout  the  publication,  with  numbers  added  as  required,  in  which

A  descriptive  catalogue  of  birds,  with  a  synoptic  list  of  genera  and  higher  groups 
and  with  diagnoses  and  synonymies  following  in  the  main  text;  illustrated  by 
hand-colored  plates.  The  work  was  published  in  8  livraisons,  regarding  whose 
dates  of  publication  there  is  considerable  doubt.  Mathews  (Novit.  Zool.  18,  p. 
14,  1911)  quotes,  from  the  "Bibliotheque  Francaise,"  (  =  Bibliographic  de  la 
France)  the  dates  of  receipt  of  the  various  livraisons  as  follows.  Livr.  i,  Feb. 
13,  1830;  2,  May  8,  1830;  3,  July  10,  1830;  4,  Sept.  25,  1830;  5,  ?;  6,  about 
March  i,  1831 ;  7,  April  9,  1831 ;  8,  June  1 1,  1831.  Livrs.  1-4  and  7-8  are  accred- 
ited with  5  sheets  of  text  each,  livr.  i  with  no  plates,  2  with  30  pll.,  3-4  and  7-8 
with  15  pll.  each,  but  this  arrangement  does  not  account  for  all  the  letterpress 
and  allows  one  plate  over  the  number  published  (assuming  that  livrs.  5  and  6 
were  similar  to  the  adjacent  numbers).  In  the  "Revue  Zoologique,"  1848, 
PP-  39-48,  Lafresnaye  refers  a  number  of  times  to  the  "Trait6  d'Ornithologie" 
which  he  says  was  published  in  8  livraisons  from  November  1828  to  November

1830,  but  this  statement  is  not  supported  by  any  other  reference  I  can  find. 
Mathews  (I.e.)  assigns  certain  pages  to  the  various  parts,  but  he  does  not  ac- 
count for  the  prefatory  matter  (pp.  I-XXXIJ)  which  includes  the  title  dated 
1831  and  the  preface  dated  November  1830.  Furthermore,  since  the  Bibliog- 
raphic de  la  France  apparently  omits  all  mention  of  Livr.  5,  the  contents  of 
this  and  the  succeeding  parts  are  uncertain.

A  continuation  of  the  author's  "Hist.  Nat.  des  Oiseaux-Mouches,"  1829-30  (q.v.), 
with  a  supplement  to  the  earlier  volume.  The  pagination  is  continuous  in  this 
volume  but  the  plates  are  numbered  separately  for  the  Colibris  and  for  the 
Suppl.  Ois.-Mouch.  There  is  a  question  as  to  the  dates  of  publication.  Most 
authors  and  bibliographers  quote  1830-31,  both  dates  appearing  in  the  text, 
and  a  notice  by  the  editor  on  p.  II  of  "Les  Trochilide'es,"  1832-33  (q.v.),  states 
that  the  present  work  completed  its  publication  in  December  1831.  The 
Catalogue  of  the  Library  of  the  British  Museum  (Natural  History),  quoting  the 
"Bibliographic  de  la  France,"  assigns  Livrs.  1-3  to  1830;  4-12,  1831;  and  13, 
1832;  with  plates  issued  in  the  first  12  parts  only.  The  signatures  are  as  fol-

•The  index  and  the  preface  are  on  the  same  quality  of  paper;  the  3  pr.  11.  (titles  and  ded.)  are  on  a

The  concluding  volume  of  the  series  relating  to  the  hummingbirds  (Cf.  "Histoire 
Naturelle  des  Oiseux-Mouches,"  1829-30,  and  "Hist.  Nat.  des  Colibris,"  1830- 
32.).  The  general  text  is  of  the  same  nature  as  that  of  the  preceding  volumes. 
Following  it,  on  pp.  J-XLIIJ,  is  given  a  general  synoptic  index  to  all  the 
hummingbirds,  with  short  diagnoses  and  some  synonymy  of  the  species  and 
higher  groups.  This  is  separately  titled,  as  follows.  "Index  |  general  et  synop-

difference  of  authorities  as  to  dates  of  publication.  The  work  was  issued  in  14 
livraisons.  Engelmann  gives  1832-33  as  dates  of  issue;  Coues  cites  only  1832; 
the  Library  of  the  British  Museum  (Natural  History),  quoting  from  the 
"Bibliographic  de  la  France,"  assigns  Livrs.  1-7  to  1832  and  the  rest  of  the 
book  to  1833;  the  title-page  of  the  "Index"  in  the  work  in  question  bears  the 
date  1832  (probably  in  the  nth  or  i2th  livr.),  while  the  author's  preface  is 
dated  December  1831.  The  signatures  are  as  follows.  Half-tit,  and  tit.  (2  11.),

An  account  of  the  birds  of  Africa  (not  always  strictly  denned),  classified  under 
vernacular  names.  The  plates  are  engravings,  printed  in  colors  and  afterwards 
retouched  by  hand.  The  first  edition,  in  4to,  was  issued  in  51  livraisons  from 
1796  to  1812  and  the  present  edition  is  ascribed  to  the  same  period  by  the 
"Catalogue  of  the  Library  of  the  British  Museum  (Natural  History),"  although 
the  title-pages  present  only  the  dates  1805  to  1808  as  in  the  above  transcription. 
Aside  from  the  change  from  4to  to  folio,  I  do  not  know  what  differences  exist 
in  the  two  editions.  A  continuation  of  the  work  was  contemplated  by  Levaillant 
[Cf.  Cat.  Libr.  Brit.  Mus.  (Nat.  Hist.).]  but  was  not  produced.  Ostensibly 
based  on  the  author's  personal  observations  and  collections  in  southern  Africa, 
the  book  is  a  monument  of  deception.  An  infinity  of  detail  is  given  of  the  habits 
of  the  various  species  and  of  the  circumstances  under  which  the  specimens  de- 
scribed or  figured  were  secured  by  the  author  in  Africa,  but  many  of  these 
species  do  not  inhabit  any  part  of  that  continent.  Some  of  the  specimens  thus 
claimed  to  have  been  taken  personally,  have  proved  to  be  artifacts.  Errors 
of  previous  authors  have  been  perpetuated,  with  an  added  element  of  personality 
given  by  Levaillant  who  cites  exact  data  for  his  supposed  specimens.  A  careful 
review  of  the  work  is  given  by  Sundeevall  in  the  second  part  of  his  "Kritisk

A  work  intended  to  supplement  the  "Hist.  Nat.  des  Oiseaux  d'Afrique"  (q.v.) 
by  describing  and  figuring  birds  not  properly  included  in  that  work.  One  vol- 
ume, only,  was  published  which  consists  of  monographs  of  the  Bucerotidae  and 
the  Cotingidae,  with  49  of  the  proposed  240  plates.  The  work  was  continued 
under  a  separate  title  (Cf.  Levaillant,  Histoire  Naturelle  des  Oiseaux  de  Para- 
dis,  etc.).  The  present  volume  was  issued  in  8  parts  of  which  1-4  appeared  in 
1801  and  5-8  in  1802  (Cat.  Libr.  Brit.  Mus.  [Nat.  Hist.)],  but  I  am  uncertain 
as  to  the  division  of  parts.  The  Bucerotidae  are  treated  on  pp.  1-51  and  pll.

the  subjects  mentioned.  A  covering  title  is  said  [Cat.  Libr.  Brit.  Mus.  (Nat.

398  FIELD  MUSEUM  OF  NATURAL  HISTORY — ZOOLOGY,  VOL.  XVI. 

• 

The  nature  of  the  work  is  identical  with  that  of  the  same  title,  edited  by  W.  B. 
Tegetmeier,  published  the  same  year  also  by  the  Willughby  Society  (q.v.). 
The  details  of  the  two  reprints  are  not  identical,  as  will  be  shown  hereunder. 

The  prefaces  of  the  two  editions  vary  in  the  details  given  of  the  life  of  Lich- 
tenstein  and  differ  noticeably  in  their  summaries  of  the  new  species  contained 
in  the  succeeding  pages.  Tegetmeier  lists  but  36  new  species;  Godman  gives 
the  number  as  38,  including,  properly,  No.  362  (Columba  assimilis)  and  No.  500 
(Turdus  macrourus)  which  are  not  mentioned  by  Tegetmeier. 

Tegetmeier  calls  his  edition  "a  literal  reprint  (the  orthographical  and  typo- 
graphical errors  being  intentionally  reproduced)"  "line  for  line  and  letter  for 
letter"  from  the  copy  in  the  Banksian  Library,  British  Museum;  Godman  says 
his  edition  is  "reproduced  literatim  et  verbatim"  from  the  copy  in  the  Library 
of  the  British  Museum.  In  spite  of  this  fact,  differences  occur  throughout, 
beginning  with  the  reprinted  title-page,  lines  4,  8,  9,  10,  14,  15,  17,  18,  19,  20, 
21,  26,  29,  30  and  31.  A  common  source  of  difference  in  the  later  pages  is  in 
the  diphthongs  'ae'  and  'ce'  which  are  interpreted  in  one  form  by  Tegetmeier 
and  exactly  the  opposite  by  Godman.  The  other  differences  are  too  numerous 
to  mention.  However,  it  is  obviously  impossible  that  both  editions  can  be 
exact  reprints  of  the  same  copy. 

There  is  no  published  evidence  which  I  can  find  to  explain  the  reason  for  the 
two  editions.  Godman's  issue  was  printed  by  Taylor  and  Francis,  and  Teget- 
meier's  by  Horace  Cox,  but  since  both  firms  were  employed  in  the  printing  of 
other  of  the  Willughby  reprints,  no  light  is  thrown  on  the  possible  unauthen- 
ticity  of  either  edition.  The  Catalogue  of  the  Library  of  the  British  Museum 
(Natural  History),  The  Zoological  Record  for  1882,  and  the  Catalogue  of  the 
Library  of  the  Zoological  Society  of  London  mention  only  Godman's  reprint. 
There  is  no  current  review  in  the  Ibis.  The  advertising  pages  at  the  close  of 
each  copy  list  that  particular  edition  among  the  regular  publications  of  the 
Society  but  say  nothing  of  another  edition.  A  possible  solution  of  the  puzzle 
is  suggested  by  the  advertising  pages  of  the  reprint  of  "Wagler's  six  ornitho- 
logical memoirs  from  the  Isis,"  1884  (q.v.).  In  these  there  appears  a  statement, 
signed  by  Godman  as  Secretary  of  the  Society,  that  there  had  been  consider- 
able delay  in  the  publication  of  some  of  the  numbers,  on  account  of  which  the 
Committee  had  made  a  change  in  regard  to  editorial  supervision  which  it  was 
hoped  would  obviate  further  difficulties  of  this  nature.  The  present  paper  was 
among  those  which  had  been  delayed  since  it  was  due  in  1880,  and  Tegetmeier 
was  Director  of  the  Society!

1926.  CATALOGUE  OF  AVER  LIBRARY — ZIMMER.  399 

A  hand-list  of  the  specimens  of  birds  in  the  Berlin  Museum,  giving  the  distribu- 
tion of  each  species,  the  number  of  specimens  at  hand  and,  in  some  cases,  the 
price  at  which  duplicates  will  be  sold.  The  list  seems  to  have  been  published 
by  Lichtenstein  whose  name  is  signed  to  the  preface  although  acknowledg- 
ments are  made  (p.  VI)  for  a  certain  amount  of  assistance  rendered  by  Cabanis. 
Some  confusion  exists  in  the  fact  that  Lichtenstein  quotes  his  own  genera  as 
"Licht."  and  those  of  Cabanis  as  "Nob."  but  the  arrangement  of  species  is 
not  entirely  that  followed  by  Cabanis,  and  the  latter  author,  in  his  "Museum 
Heineanum,"  1850-63  (q.v.),  cites  the  present  work  as  of  Lichtenstein,  so 
Cabanis,  probably,  is  not  to  be  quoted  under  the  present  title.  Many  of  the 
names  used  elsewhere  by  Cabanis,  and  first  published  by  him,  were  taken  from 
specimens  in  the  Berlin  Museum  labelled  in  the  first  place  by  Lichtenstein,  so 
the  names  characterized  as  "Nob"  in  the  "Nomenclator"  may  have  been  orig- 
inated by  Lichtenstein,  although  published  first  by  Cabanis.  The  "Nomen- 
clator" is  useful,  principally,  for  the  definite  localities  given  for  the  species, 
many  of  which  were  described  elsewhere,  without  such  exact  information,  from 
the  specimens  listed  herein.

A  short  account  of  each  of  the  British  birds  and  its  habits,  preceded  by  a  brief 
synonymy  and  illustrated  by  colored  plates  (chromolith.).  Most  of  the  plates 
are  by  Thorburn  and  Keulemans;  a  few  are  by  G.  E.  Lodge  and  W.  Foster. 
The  first  edition  was  begun  in  Oct.  1885  and  issued  in  parts.  The  second  edi- 
tion, also  in  parts,  commenced  in  April  1891  (at  the  time  Pt.  XVIII,  first  ed., 
appeared)  and  overtook  the  first  edition  in  Sept.  1894  with  the  issue  of  Pt. 
XXVIII,  after  which  the  same  parts  of  both  editions  appeared  simultaneously 
until  the  completion  of  the  work.  The  editions  are  said  to  be  identical  except

made  use  of  binomials.  In  the  present  edition  the  birds  occupy  pp.  16-93.

A  list  of  the  species  figured  in  the  "Natural  History  of  Uncommon  Birds"  and 
"Gleanings  of  Natural  History"  (q.v.)  by  Edwards,  with  Latin  binomials  ap- 
plied by  Linne".  This  work  was  prepared  by  Linne'  after  Edwards's  death  and 
appears  to  have  been  published  by  Robson  for  inclusion  in  copies  of  Edwards's 
work  since  a  notice  on  p.  15  gives  directions  for  its  insertion  in  copies  of  the 
latter.  The  paper  on  "Some  Memoirs  of  the  Life  and  Works  of  George  Ed-

brochure,  and  in  the  copy  at  hand  is  included  in  the  same  wrapper.  A  second 
copy  of  this  catalogue  is  bound  with  Pt.  Ill  of  the  second  edition  of  Edwards's

Turton's  translation  of  the  i3th  edition  of  Linnets  "Systema  Naturae"  which 
was  published  by  Gmelin  in  1788-93.  The  ornithology  occupies  pp.  131-637 
of  Vol.  I,  and  one  plate.  Vol.  I  was  printed  in  1800  and  III  in  1801,  according 
to  a  statement  in  the  colophon  of  each,  but  actual  publication,  judging  by  the 
date  on  the  title-pages,  appears  to  have  been  reserved  until  completion  of  the 
four  volumes.  These  four  volumes  are  complete  for  zoology  but  embrace  only 
that  subject.  Three  additional  volumes  on  the  remaining  subjects  of  natural 
history  were  published  subsequently  with  a  reissue  of  the  present  four  which 
were  then  supplied  with  new  title-pages,  making  the  complete  set  of  seven 
volumes.  The  present  set,  however,  is  to  be  quoted  separately.  Engelmann 
confuses  the  two  editions  and  cites  colored  plates.

Accounts  of  the  habits  and  the  local  distribution  and  occurrence  of  the  verte- 
brates of  the  Orkney  and  Shetland  islands.  The  preface  notes  that  the  work 
was  prepared  by  Low  under  the  encouragement  of  Thomas  Pennant  but  that 
it  remained  unpublished  at  the  author's  death  in  1795.  It  states  also  that 
many  of  the  notes  were  plagiarized  by  Rev.  George  Barry  in  his  "History  of 
Orkney,"  1805,  from  the  manuscript  which  was  then  in  his  possession.  This 
manuscript,  coming  afterwards  into  Leach's  hands,  was  edited  and  published 
as  presented  herewith.

A  thorough  bibliography  of  the  group  Charadriiformes,  prefaced  by  a  discussion 
of  several  systems  of  classification  of  the  group.  The  literature  is  tabulated 
under  authors  which  are  arranged  by  years  under  generic  names,  and  the  gen- 
era are  placed  in  their  respective  families  according  to  a  scheme  of  classifica- 
tion given  at  the  head  of  the  family  in  question.  Each  of  the  families  occupies 
a  chapter.  A  list  of  general  references  and  one  of  general  literature  on  the 
group  are  placed  in  chapters  I  and  II.  The  work  is  planned  to  carry  the  litera- 
ture from  the  point  where  it  was  left  by  R.  B.  Sharpe  in  1896,  Vol.  XXIV  of

A  complete  natural  history  of  the  birds  of  Great  Britain,  written  in  great  detail 
and  containing  a  mass  of  information  on  the  particulars  of  avian  anatomy,  as 
well  as  full  accounts  of  the  habits  and  characteristics  of  each  of  the  species  and 
a  great  deal  of  information  of  a  general  nature.  The  system  of  classification 
adopted  by  the  author  is  unusual,  but  the  general  discussions  and  the  anatomi- 
cal descriptions  are  authoritative.  Some  of  the  remarks  are  attributed  to  notes

A  little  work  supplementing  Jardine's  "Natural  History  of  Humming-birds," 
1833  (q.v.)  in  the  Naturalist's  Library.  According  to  Coues,  the  present  work 
was  issued  as  a  later  volume  of  that  series.  The  volume  is  composed  of  a  gen- 
eral discussion  of  hummingbirds  and  their  habits  (occupying  rather  more  than 
half  of  the  text)  and  descriptions  of  a  considerable  number  of  species  not  (with 
one  exception)  treated  by  Jardine.  The  plates  are  engravings,  with  the  figures 
of  the  birds  colored  by  hand  but  with  the  backgrounds  uncolored.  A  curious 
error  occurs  on  plates  4  and  8  on  which  the  remiges  and  rectrices  of  the  birds 
are  shown  imbricated  in  reverse  order,  the  outer  ones  overlapping  the  inner!

part  of  the  general  work.  It  contains  alterations  and  additions  to  the  general 
text  as  made  necessary  by  researches  since  the  publication  of  the  parts  of  the 
work  concerned  (except  for  portions  of  Pt.  3  which  antedate  the  yet  unpublished 
conclusion  of  Vol.  XII).  It  also  gives  a  resume'  of  the  forms  treated  in  the  work, 
with  references  to  original  descriptions  and  to  plates  in  Gould  and  the  present 
work,  and  with  notes  on  the  distribution  of  the  species.  The  Bibliography 
is  explained  by  its  title. 

The  colored  plates  are  by  J.  G.  Keulemans,  H.  Gronvold,  H.  Goodchild,

i  vol.  medium  4to,  pp.  I-IV,  1-532,  pll.  I-XXXII.   Newtonville. 

The  present  work  has  a  very  involved  history.  In  October  1872,  the  author  com- 
menced the  publication  of  a  book  entitled  "The  Birds  of  Florida,"  issuing 
Pt.  II  in  1873  and  Pt.  Ill  hi  January  1874.  In  May  1878,  Pt.  IV  appeared 
with  the  title  emended  to  "The  Birds  of  Florida  with  the  Water  and  Game 
Birds  of  Eastern  North  America."  The  work  was  thus  continued  until  March 
1879  when  Pt.  IX  was  published,  carrying  the  work  to  p.  232  and  pi.  XVI,  at 
which  point  this  title  and  work  were  abandoned.  In  1879  a  new  edition  was 
begun  under  the  present  title  which,  however,  was  announced  to  contain  only 
30  plates.  The  Zool.  Record  states  that  Pts.  I-VIII  appeared  in  1879  and  IX- 
XIII  in  1880,  a  statement  supported  by  the  review  in  the  Auk  for  July  1880. 
The  Catalogue  of  the  Library  of  the  British  Museum  (Natural  History),  con- 
fuses the  original  and  the  reissued  works  and  catalogues  Pts.  I-III  as  having 
appeared  in  1872-74,  IV  in  1878,  IX-XV  in  1879  and  XVI  in  1881,  giving 
pagination  and  plate  numbers  for  each  part  but  remarking  that  pll.  XXIX 
and  XXX  were  not  issued.  The  work  at  hand  may  constitute  a  third  publi- 
cation since  it  bears  the  inscription  "Thirty -two  plates  .  .  .  Revised  edi- 
tion .  .  .  1881"  and  contains  the  full  number  of  plates.  In  view  of  the  uncer- 
tainty, I  have  quoted  it  under  the  latter  date,  only.  In  the  author's  preface, 
dated  1879,  (probably  identical  with  that  of  the  first  reissue  whether  or  not 
the  present  work  is  new) ,  it  is  stated  that  the  letterpress  has  been  slightly  altered 
from  its  form  as  published  in  "The  Birds  of  Florida"  and  that  the  plates  are 
entirely  redrawn,  but  that  the  pagination  remains  unchanged  from  the  orig- 
inal. Another  revised  edition  (q.v.)  was  published  in  1889-95.

Apparently  the  only  part  issued  of  this  work.  A  printed  label  on  the  cover  is  as 
follows.  "Part  I.  |  Illustrations  and  Descriptions  |  Birds  of  Bahama.  |  Spin- 
dalis  zena,  |  Bahama  Fruit  Finch."  The  colored  plate  contains  7  figs,  of  Spin- 
dalis  zena;  the  second  plate  (uncol.)  contains  52  figs.,  mostly  anatomical,  of 
various  birds.  The  text  (pp.  i  and  2)  relates  entirely  to  Spindalis  zena.

A  revised,  enlarged  edition  of  the  author's  earlier  work  of  the  same  title  (Cf.  ed. 
1881),  with  new  hand-colored  plates,  and  numerous  text-figures,  many  of  which 
are  also  colored.  The  present  copy  is  incomplete,  but  the  John  Crerar  Library, 
Chicago,  possesses  a  complete  copy,  dated  1896  on  the  title-page  (see  below), 
and  containing  pp.  1-721  with  numerous  colored  plates  and  colored  figures  in 
the  text.  The  preface  to  this  complete  copy  advises  that  the  first  and  second 
parts  (evidently  those  collated  above),  were  issued  in  May  1889  and  two  or 
three  more  the  following  year;  that  publication  thereafter  was  not  resumed 
until  October  1894,  while  the  final  portion  of  the  work  appeared  on  December 
24,  1895.  Neither  edition  (1889  or  1896)  is  cited  in  the  Zool.  Record  nor  in

Ornithological  contributions,  mostly  consisting  of  descriptions  of  certain  species, 
several  of  which  are  new.  Some  synonymy  is  given  for  a  few  of  the  species  but 
no  Latin  names  are  adopted  in  the  text.  On  the  plates,  however,  both  Latin 
and  German  names  are  used.  Copies  of  Pt.  I  exist  with  only  German  names 
on  the  plates.  Where  Latin  names  occur  (as  in  the  present  copy)  the  hand- 
writing in  which  they  are  engraved  is  different  from  that  used  for  the  vernacu- 
lar names  in  the  same  part,  although  it  is  the  same  as  that  used  for  both  Latin 
and  vernacular  names  in  Pt.  II.  From  these  facts  Stone  (Auk,  37,  p.  468, 
1920)  concludes  that  the  1784  edition  of  Pt.  I  was  without  Latin  names  but 
that  these  were  added  to  the  plates  in  time  for  a  reissue  of  Pt.  I  to  accompany 
Pt.  II  in  1786.  No  change  was  made  in  the  date  on  the  title-page  of  the  reissue, 
nor,  apparently,  in  the  text.  A  Latin  edition  of  both  parts  appeared  in  1786.

The  8vo  format  of  Meyer's  "Illustrations  of  British  Birds,"  1835-41  et  seq. 
According  to  Mullens  &  Swann  and  (less  explicitly)  Cams  &  Engelmann,  there 
are  two  editions  comprised  in  the  set  collated  above.  The  title-page  of  Vol.  I 
indicates  that  it  belongs  to  the  edition  of  1841-50.  The  remaining  volumes 
belong  to  the  edition  of  1852-57  and  appeared  as  indicated  on  their  titles, — 
Vol.  VI  probably  in  1856,  the  first  volume  in  1852.  Discrepancies  in  the  num- 
ber of  plates  in  Vol.  I  as  here  represented  and  as  collated  by  Coues  and  by 
Mullens  &  Swann,  indicate  a  possibility  that  only  the  title-page  is  out  of  place. 
Vol.  I  of  the  1841-50  edition  is  said  to  have  contained  60  pll.;  the  copy  at  hand 
has  65  pll.  (59  col.).  However,  the  Cat.  Libr.  Brit.  Mus.  (Nat.  Hist.) 
lists  a  copy  of  the  work  under  dates  of  1842-53 — evidently  mixed  in  the  same 
manner  as  the  present  set.  The  original  edition  was  in  4to,  and,  like  the  8vo 
editions,  was  issued  in  parts.

A  series  of  descriptions  and  plates  of  new  species  of  plants  and  animals  from  Bra- 
zil. Five  species  of  birds  are  described  as  new,  three  of  them  from  Natterer's 
manuscript.  The  work  was  issued  in  four  parts  of  six  plates  each,  according 
to  Engelmann,  dating  1820-25.  Wetmore  (Auk,  42,  p.  283,  April,  1925)  has 
given  the  collation  and  dates  from  a  copy  of  the  work  in  the  U.  S.  Department 
of  Agriculture,  which  has  Pts.  I,  II  and  IV  in  original  covers.  The  date  for 
Pt.  Ill  is  quoted  from  a  discovery  by  Richmond  in  Flora  Regensb.  for  Nov.  7, 
1823,  which  announces  the  appearance  of  that  part.  According  to  Wetmore, 
the  dates  are  as  follows.  Pt.  I,  including  Lanius  undulatus,  1820;  II,  including 
Corous  tricolor,  1822;  III,  including  Oxyrhynchus  serratus,  1823;  IV,  including

A  comprehensive  account  of  fossil  birds,  not  entirely  restricted  to  France,  devel- 
oped in  conjunction  with  osteological  studies  of  modern  forms.  In  addition 
to  the  descriptions  of  the  new  fossil  forms,  the  work  presents  a  mass  of  informa- 
tion relative  to  the  characteristics  and  affinities  of  various  taxonomic  groups. 
The  work  was  published  in  livraisons  of  which  the  Zoological  Record  cites 
1-17  in  1867,  18-25  (Vol.  I  concluding  with  22)  in  1868;  26-30  in  1869,  and  the 
completion  of  the  work  in  1871.  The  issuance  of  text  did  not  always  keep  pace 
with  that  of  the  plates  so  that  the  two  did  not  appear  synchronously  in  all 
cases.  The  copy  at  hand  was  presented  by  the  author  to  A(dolphe  Theodore)

A  voluminous  work  of  a  general  nature,  containing  a  mass  of  information,  much 
of  which  is  from  unreliable  sources  and  inaccurate.  The  plates,  which  are  hand- 
colored,  are  fairly  good,  and  the  book  early  obtained  considerable  popularity 
on  account  of  its  readability  and  moderate  cost.  Mullens  and  Swann  record 
3  reissues  of  the  first  edition,  four  revised  editions,  and  two  cabinet  editions. 
The  present  copy  is  of  the  second  (first  revised)  edition.  The  first  edition  ap- 
peared in  1851-57,  in  monthly  parts.

(with  interpolations  indicated  by  the  figures  with  asterisks),  and  the  plates 
are  of  the  same  design  as  the  originals  although  they  are  executed  in  a  very 
inferior  manner.  An  introduction  (pp.  V-XIII)  is  from  the  pen  of  Tegetmeier

A  detailed  monograph  of  the  hummingbirds.  The  work  was  issued  in  16  livrai- 
sons  as  follows.  Vol.  I,  livr.  i,  1873;  livr.  2,  1873  (Coues)  or  1874  (Ibis);  livrs. 
3-4,  1874.  Vol.  II:  livrs.  1-2,  1875;  livrs.  3-4,  1876.  Vol.  Ill:  livrs.  1-2,  1876; 
livrs.  3-4,  1877.  Vol.  IV:  livrs.  1-2,  1877;  livrs.  3-4,  1878.  The  extent  of  each 
livraison  is  indeterminate  from  the  present  copy  but  the  Zoologica  1  record  lists 
the  various  species  figured  on  the  plates  as  they  appeared,  from  which  it  is 
possible  to  get  the  approximate  dates  of  some  of  the  illustrations.  However, 
it  is  apparent  that  plates  and  text  were  not  synchronous.  For  example,  Dolero- 
mia  fattax  is  discussed  in  Vol.  I  where  it  is  accompanied  (in  the  bound  volume) 
by  the  plate  of  this  species,  but  the  Zoological  Record  notes  the  publication  of 
the  figure  of  this  species  in  Vol.  Ill,  Pts.  3-4.  A  Supplement  (q.v.)  was  pub- 
lished in  1879.

A  series  of  plates  intended  to  supplement  those  in  the  "Histoire  Naturelle  des 
Oiseaux-Mouches  ou  Colibris,"  1873-78  (q.v.).  The  letterpress  consists  of  a 
list  of  the  plates  (incomplete),  with  references  to  the  volume  and  page  where 
each  is  to  be  inserted  in  the  general  work.  Although  the  cover-title  is  dated 
1877,  the  supplement  appears  not  to  have  been  issued  until  1879,  according 
to  the  Zoological  Record.  The  addition  of  these  plates  to  the  general  work  has 
led,  apparently,  to  the  citation  of  a  varying  number  of  plates  under  the  earlier 
dates.  According  to  a  recent  advertisement,  in  which  a  copy  in  original  covers 
is  offered  for  sale,  the  present  section  of  the  entire  work  consists  of  7  supple- 
ments in  5  parts.

On  p.  63,  the  author  concludes  that  no  subtitle  for  this  part  ever  appeared. 

•Leverkuhn,  I.e.,  pp.  6r  and  62,  records  the  date  of  1795  as  occurring  on  the  original  title-pages  of 
Pts.  i  and  2  of  Vol.  I,  published  in  Leipzig  "in  Kommission  bei  Friedrich  Osterloh."  With  the 
change  in  publishers  which  occurred  with  Pt.  3,  new  title-pages  were  issued  for  the  preceding 
two  parts  to  agree  with  the  third  part,  and  the  remainder  followed  in  accordance.  The  original 
title-pages  (or,  more  properly,  subtitle-pages)  of  Pts.  i  and  2  are  not  preserved  with  this  copy. 

'Leverkuhn,  I.e.  p.  65,  gives  1811  as  the  date  on  the  title-page  of  this  part.  This  may  be  a  typo- 
graphical error;  the  date  is  very  clearly  1817  in  both  copies  of  this  part  at  hand  (Cf.  reissue, 
same  date.).

A  monumental  work  on  the  birds  of  northern  Germany  and  surrounding  country. 
Begun  as  a  series  of  descriptions  of  the  birds  of  the  Principalities  of  Anhalt 
(now  part  of  Thuringia),  Vol.  I  was  issued  under  the  title  of  "Johann  Andreas 
Naumann's  ausfurliche  Beschreibung  aller  Wald-  Feld-  und  Wasser-V6gel," 
etc.  (Cf .  above  transcription  and  footnote  4.).  Pts.  i  and  2  of  this  volume  were 
published  in  Leipzig  in  1795  in  commission  with  Friedrich  Osterloh.  With 
Pt.  3,  the  publisher  was  changed  to  J.  A.  Aue  and  new  subtitle-pages  were 
issued  for  the  first  two  parts  to  agree  with  the  new  arrangement;  these  new  sub- 
title-pages were  also  inscribed  with  the  title  of  "Johann  Andreas  Naumann's 
ausfuhrliche  Beschreibung,"  etc.,  as  were  the  subtitle-pages  of  Pts.  3-6  of  Vol.  I 
and  the  title-page  for  the  completed  volume.  With  the  inception  of  Vol.  II 
(perhaps  beforehand)  it  apparently  was  determined  to  enlarge  the  scope  of  the 
work  so  as  to  include  the  birds  of  all  of  northern  Germany  and  outlying  regions, 
and  the  title  was  altered,  in  accordance  with  this  plan,  to  "Naturgeschichte  der 
Land-  und  Wasser-Vogel  des  nordlichen  Deutschlands  und  angranzender  Lan- 
der." For  the  sake  of  uniformity,  a  new  title-page  and  new  subtitle-pages  were 
printed  for  Vol.  I  and  its  six  parts,  containing  the  new  title,  and  in  this  form  the 
work  was  carried  to  completion.  On  account  of  the  various  changes  just  men- 
tioned, two  styles  of  title-page  and  three  of  subtitle-page  are  in  existence;  the 
present  copy  contains  one  of  title  and  two  of  subtitle  as  transcribed  above. 
The  final  title  for  the  work,  however,  is  "Naturgeschichte  der  Land-  und 
Wasser-Vogel." 

With  the  early  change  in  publisher,  the  reissued  title-pages  for  Pts.  i  and  2 
were  inscribed  with  the  date  of  the  reissue,  — the  date  of  Pt.  3,  — 1796.  J.  F. 
Naumann,  in  the  preface  (p.  VIII)  to  Vol.  I  of  his  "Naturgeschichte  der  Vogel 
Deutschlands,"  1822-60  (q.v.),  gives  the  inclusive  dates  of  the  present  work  as 
1796-1817,  but  there  is  no  reason  to  doubt  that  the  first  two  parts  actually 
appeared  in  1795  at  Leipzig,  as  dated  on  the  original  subtitle-pages  of  these  parts. 
Each  part  of  the  work  contained  8  plates,  drawn  and  (beginning  with  pi. 
XVI  of  Vol.  i,  Pt.  i)  engraved  by  the  author's  son,  Johann  Friedrich  Naumann 
(junior  author  of  the  supplementary  parts).  From  Pt.  i  of  Vol.  I  to  Pt.  3  of 
the  Supplement,  the  plates  were  in  demy  folio  (largest  example  at  hand,  ioXx 
14)4,  trimmed) ;  the  remainder  were  in  8vo,  — at  least  no  folio  plates  are  known 
beyond  this  point.  Somewhere  about  the  date  of  the  first  Supplement  (1804), 
the  artist  commenced  the  preparation  of  a  series  of  8vo  plates  to  take  the  place 
of  the  earlier  folio  issues,  revising  the  composition  and  details  of  every  plate 
and  keeping  only  the  original  numbers  of  the  plates  and  figures  (with  certain 
corrections)  and  dividing  pi.  XX  of  Suppl.,  Pt.  3,  into  two  plates,  XXA  and 
XXB.  This  issue  of  8vo  plates  constitutes  an  insoluble  mystery.  Various  specu- 
lations have  been  advanced  regarding  the  reasons  for,  and  methods  of,  publica- 
tion and  regarding  the  consequent  disappearance  of  all  but  a  very  limited 
number  of  the  original  folio  impressions. 


1926.  CATALOGUE  OF  AVER  LIBRARY — ZIMMER.  457 

The  earliest  folio  plates  undoubtedly  were  somewhat  crude,  compared  with 
the  later  ones  or  with  the  8vo  plates,  and  it  is  conceivable  that  the  artist  may 
have  wished  to  destroy  these  earlier  examples  of  his  handiwork  and  to  replace 
them  by  the  later,  more  perfect  drawings,  but  this  motive  is  by  no  means  proven 
nor  is  the  method  clear  by  means  of  which  such  an  object  could  have  been 
accomplished.  There  is  no  printed  record  of  any  such  transaction  requested  or 
fulfilled,  and  the  artist-author  later  kept  silent  in  the  face  of  published  request 
for  information  on  the  early  work. 

Only  three  copies  of  the  work  are  known  which  have  the  full  number  (192) 
of  folio  plates  and  at  least  one  of  these  copies  has  been  completed  from  an  out- 
side source;  nine  copies  are  known  which  are  more  or  less  complete  (including 
the  present  set,  three  copies  are  known  in  a  very  fragmentary  form,  — possibly 
more  which  are  unrecorded.  It  seems  incredible  that  the  work  could  have  been 
carried  to  completion  with  only  fifteen  subscribers  or  with  double  that  number, 
assuming  that  half  of  the  original  copies  have  been  destroyed;  the  author  was 
not  rich  and  was  not  subsidized  and  he  advertised  his  work  for  sale  at  the  low 
price  of  "i  thl.  16  gr."  per  part  (Vol.  Ill,  Pt.  7,  advt.  leaf).  The  present  set, 
like  others  of  the  imperfect  copies,  has  most  of  the  plates  in  folio  and  the  re- 
mainder in  8vo.  Specimens  are  more  common  with  all  of  the  plates  in  8vo; 
an  example  of  this  kind  is  catalogued  below  (q.v.). 

There  are  two  issues  of  pi.  XXXI  of  Vol.  I,  Pt.  4.  In  one  of  these  the  upper 
figure  is  looking  forward  to  the  left;  in  the  other  its  body  is  directed  to  the 
right  but  its  head  is  turned  backwards  to  the  left,  and  there  are  other  differ- 
ences. The  present  copy  is  of  the  former  type. 

The  preface  to  Vol.  Ill,  Pt.  i  is  dated,  March  1789.  In  Suppl.,  Pt.  4,  1811 
(which  contains  the  description  of  the  new  genus  Acrocephalus,  p.  199)  there 
is  on  p.  191  a  reference  to  an  occurrence  "am  20.  Mai  dieses  Jahres"  which  may 
be  of  assistance  in  fixing  the  date  of  this  part.  Leverkuhn,  I.e.  (Cf.  footn.  i.) 
gives  a  very  thorough  account  of  the  Naumanns  and  their  ornithological 
works  including  voluminous  details  regarding  the  present  title.  For  further 
accounts  see  Lindner,  Mitth.  ornith.  Ver.  Wien.,  18,  pp.  109-111  and  125-128, 
1894;  Ornith.  Monatsb.,  21,  pp.  47-49  and  52,  1913:  Schiller,  Ornith.  Monatsb., 
21,  p.  67,  1913. 

To  recapitulate,  the  present  copy  has  all  of  the  letterpress  except  that  of 
Vol.  Ill,  Pt.  9,  and  this  gap  is  filled  by  the  text  of  the  8vo  edition  which  is 
identical.  The  full  title-pages  of  Vols.  I  and  IV,  missing  here,  are  also  supplied 
in  the  8vo  edition.  The  frontispiece  of  Vol.  IV  is  missing  from  both  sets.  Of 
the  folio  plates  there  are  136  present,  including  all  belonging  to  Vol.  I;  Vol.  II; 
Vol.  Ill,  Pts.  1-8;  and  Vol.  IV,  Pt.  i  (lacking  those  of  Vol.  Ill,  Pt.  9;  Vol.  IV, 
Pts.  2-4;  and  Suppl.,  Pts.  1-3).  The  8vo  plates  (the  only  ones  issued)  for  Suppl., 
Pts.  4-8,  are  all  present.  Vol.  IV,  Pts.  2-4  and  Suppl.,  Pts.  1-3  are  supplied 
with  8vo  plates  instead  of  the  missing  folio  examples.  There  are  no  plates  in 
this  set  for  Vol.  Ill,  Pt.  9,  but  the  8vo  plates  for  that  number  are  in  the  8vo 
set  (q.v.).

plates  collated  above).  Leipzig  and  Cothen. 

The  text  of  the  present  edition  is  identical  with  that  which  accompanied  the  folio 
plates  (collated  above),  even  to  the  inclusion  of  the  corrigenda  which  often 
have  no  application  here  since  the  required  alterations  were  made  in  the  new 
plates.  It  is  evidently  the  original  text,  intact.  All  of  the  plates,  however,  are 
in  8vo.  Those  of  Suppl.,  Pts.  4-6  (7  and  8  missing)  are  the  same  as  in  the  earlier 
issue  since  no  folio  plates  were  published  for  these  parts,  but  the  rest  are  new. 1 
They  are  of  entirely  new  designs  and  are  related  to  the  original  folio  plates 
only  by  reason  of  representing  the  same  species  and  by  carrying  the  same  num- 
bers for  plates  and  figures  (with  corrections  as  necessary  and  with  the  substitu- 
tion of  two  plates  for  one,  as  mentioned  in  the  collation). 

These  8vo  plates  are  unquestionably  of  later  issue  than  the  folio  plates  of 
corresponding  numbers.  A  few  of  them  are  signed  with  the  date  of  preparation 
and  in  every  such  case  the  date  is  subsequent  to  the  date  of  publication  of  the 
original  issue.  The  following  examples  have  been  noted.  Vol.  I,  Pt.  3,  pi. 
XVII,  dat.  1804;  folio  dat.  1796.  Vol.  I,  Pt.  4,  pi.  XXXI,  dat.  1804;  folio  dat. 
1797.  Vol.  I,  Pt.  5,  pi.  XXXIV,  dat.  1805;  folio  dat.  1797.  Vol.  I,  Pt.  6,  pll. 
XLI,  XLII  and  XLVIII,  dat.  1805;  folio  dat.  1797.  Vol.  Ill,  Pt.  i,  pi.  I,  dat. 
1806;  folio  dat.  1799.  Vol.  Ill,  Pt.  4,  pi.  XXXI,  dat.  1807;  folio  dat.  1800. 
Vol.  Ill,  Pt.  9,  pi.  LXVII,  dat.  1807;  folio  dat.  1802-03?.  J.  F.  Naumann  him- 
self (Naturg.  Vogel  Deutschl.,  13,  p.  454),  referring  to  pi.  XLVI  (fig.  105)  of 
Vol.  I,  Pt.  6,  (folio  publ.  1797),  says  that  the  8vo  plate  of  the  same  species  ap- 
peared "schon  c.  10  Jahr  spater."  Exact  dates  of  publication  of  any  of  the 
8vo  plates,  except  those  which  belong  to  Suppl.,  Pts.  4-8  as  original  issues, 
are  unknown. 

The  present  copy  lacks  Suppl.,  Pts.  7  and  8,  with  the  included  plates.  The 
gap  is  filled  by  the  corresponding  parts  of  the  original  edition  (q.v.)  which  are 
identical  with  those  missing  here. 


'The  plates  in  Vol.  IV,  Pts.  2-4  and  Suppl.,  Pts.  1-3  in  the  original  copy  collated  above  belong  to 
the  present  edition,  being  substitutes  for  the  folio  plates  which  are  missing  from  that  copy. 
They  are  duplicated  in  the  present  copy.

Immediately  after  the  completion  of  the  present  book,  J.  F.  Naumann  began 
the  preparation  of  a  work  which  he  considered  to  be  a  second  edition  of  the 
present  title  but  which  was  so  rewritten  and  improved  that  it  should  stand  as 
a  distinct  production.  A  copy  is  collated  below  under  J.  F.  Naumann,  Natur-

A  complete  natural  history  of  the  birds  of  Germany.  While  entitled  "J.  A.  Nau- 
mann's  Naturgeschichte,"  etc.,  the  work  is  quite  distinct  from  J.  A.  Naumann's 
work,  "Naturgeschichte  der  Land-  und  Wasser-Vogel  des  nordlichen  Deutsch- 
lands  und  angranzender  Lander"  of  1795-1817  (q.v.).,  although  the  earlier  book 
laid  the  foundations  for  the  later  one.  A  few  of  the  plates  are  the  same  but  most 
of  them  have  been  remodeled  and  many  of  them  entirely  redrawn  while  other 
new  ones  have  been  added.  The  volumes  seem  to  have  been  issued  regularly 
as  indicated  by  the  printed  dates  on  the  title-pages,  except  Vol.  XIII.  This 
volume,  consisting  entirely  of  supplementary  notes  and  discussions,  was  begun 
by  Naumann  and  issued  in  parts.  Interrupted  by  Naumann's  death  in  1857, 
it  was  then  completed  by  Blasius,  Baldamus  and  Sturm.  There  is  considerable 
uncertainty  about  the  dates  and  composition  of  the  earlier  parts.  Judging 
from  changes  in  typography,  irregularities  in  signature  marks,  the  appearance 
of  new  works  in  the  synonymic  references,  and  such  other  criteria,  the  follow- 
ing division  seems  probable.  Part  i,  pp.  1-80;  2,  81-192;  3,  193-254;  4,  255-304;

An  early  work  on  the  nests  and  eggs  of  the  birds  of  Germany  and  neighboring 
countries.  The  pages  with  Roman  numeration  contain  essays  on  nests  and 
nest-building,  classification  of  birds,  form  and  internal  anatomy  of  eggs,  embry- 
ology, brooding  habits,  etc.  The  general  text  is  arranged  in  six  parallel  col- 
umns containing  (i)  nomenclature  of  species;  (2)  description  of  species;  (3)  habi- 
tat; (4)  food-habits;  (5)  nidification;  (6)  description  of  eggs.  The  colored  plates 
of  eggs  were  painted  by  Naumann.  In  1860,  a  so-called  second  edition  was 
published  by  Furchtegott  Grassner  under  the  title  of  "Die  Vogel  Deutschlands 
und  ihre  Eier"  (q.v.),  but  in  reality  this  is  a  distinct  work.

A  popular  account  of  North  American  birds,  of  the  English  edition  of  which 
Elliott  Coues  was  most  euolgistic  in  his  reviews.  The  German  text  (collated 
above)  appeared  in  13  parts,  of  which  Pt.  I  appeared  in  1889  (reviewed  in  Auk, 
July  1889).  The  Journal  fur  Ornithologie  acknowledged  the  receipt  of  Pts.  i-

Oct.  1892,  but  the  final  part  probably  appeared  in  1891,  the  date  on  the  title- 
page  and  preface.  An  edition  in  English  began  simultaneously  with  the  Ger- 
man (Pt.  i  is  reviewed  in  the  Auk  for  July,  1889),  but  it  was  not  completed

before  1896.  It  appeared  in  two  volumes  under  the  title  of  "Our  Native  Birds 
of  Song  and  Beauty,"  to  which  it  was  changed  from  "North  American  Birds," 
under  which  the  first  few  numbers  were  issued.  It  comprised  16  parts,  but  con- 
tained the  same  matter  and  the  same  illustrations  as  the  edition  in  German.

Many  interesting  notes  are  given  on  methods  of  hunting,  "egging,"  etc.,  and  on 
the  habits  of  the  birds.  The  work  was  originally  commenced  by  W.  Eagle 
Clarke,  but  under  the  present  title  the  text  was  entirely  rewritten  by  Hudson, 
although  acknowledgements  are  made  to  Clarke  and  to  F.  Boyes  for  coopera- 
tion in  the  undertaking.

A  volume  containing  an  enormous  amount  of  information  relating  to  various 
phases  of  ornithology,  conveniently  arranged  in  alphabetical  order  with  copious 
cross-references.  A  work  of  which  Coues  once  wrote  (Auk,  XIV,  p.  236,  April 
1897),  "Far  and  away  the  best  book  ever  written  about  birds."  The  anatomical 
paragraphs  were  written  by  Gadow  and  are  distinguished  by  having  the  titles 
in  Italics.  Roy  contributed  an  article  on  flight;  Lydekker,  several  paragraphs 
on  fossils;  and  Shufeldt,  accounts  of  several  North  American  birds; — these 
notes  being  signed  by  their  respective  contributors.  Issued  in  four  parts,  about 
as  collated  above  except  that  the  introductory  matter  up  to  the  first  subtitle 
(pp.  I-XII  and  1-124,  introd.)  appeared  in  the  fourth  part.  The  arrangement 
of  pages  is  taken  from  the  instructions  to  the  binder  on  the  reverse  of  the  sub- 
title to  Pt.  IV;  the  present  copy  is  wrongly  assembled  and  certain  pages  are 
lacking.  I  have  quoted  the  subtitles  in  the  absence  of  the  general  title.  A 
second  edition,  unabridged,  was  issued  in  one  volume  in  October  1899.

A  descriptive  catalogue  of  Swedish  birds.  Numerous  new  names  are  proposed 
which  are  untenable,  being  antedated  by  other  valid  terms.  The  work  appears 
to  have  been  issued  in  two  parts  as  collated,  but  Pt.  II  contains  two  subtitle- 
pages  lettered  "Fasciculus  prior"  and  "Fasciculus  posterior,"  respectively, 
which  indicate  a  possible  division.  "Fasciculus  prior"  occurs  between  pp.  112 
and  1 13,  on  the  first  leaf  of  the  signature  ending  on  p.  126;  "Fasciculis  posterior" 
is  on  p.  133  (134  blank),  at  the  end  of  its  signature.  The  texture  of  the  paper 
on  p.  135  and  the  pages  immediately  following  appears  to  be  slightly  different 
from  that  of  the  preceding  pages,  indicating  a  possible  separation  in  dates  of 
printing  or  publication.  The  preface  was  signed  on  Dec.  6,  1830.

The  ornithological  portion  of  Nordenskiold's  report  on  the  voyage  of  the  Vega, 
published  in  5  vols.,  1882-87.  The  present  contribution  forms  part  of  Vol.  V 
and  consists  of  a  detailed  report,  by  Pahn^n,  on  the  birds  of  the  Arctic  coasts 
of  Siberia,  not  restricted  to  the  material  secured  by  the  expedition.  Many  of 
the  species  discussed  are  commonly  found  in  Arctic  North  America  (some  of 
them  are  properly  Nearctic  species)  and  their  distribution  in  Alaska  and 
northfc.^  Canada  is,  therefore,  discussed.  A  detailed  bibliography  of  the  orni- 
thology of  all  Arctic  regions,  arranged  geographically,  and  a  tabular  arrange- 
ment of  species,  showing  distribution  and  records,  are  important  additions  to 
the  text.  Larus  argentatus  Vegaz  is  described  as  new.

A  voluminous  report,  containing  descriptions  of  the  plumages,  eggs  and  nesting 
habits  of  supposedly  all  the  birds  found  breeding  in  Australia  and  Tasmania; 
partly  original  and  partly  compiled  from  correspondence,  published  notes,  etc. 
Unfortunately,  many  published  records  were  ignored,  making  the  work  less 
complete  than  it  would  otherwise  have  been.  H.  L.  White  (Emu,  15,  pp.  57-65, 
i9J5)  gives  a  list  of  omissions.  Plates  "A"  are  of  nests;  "B"  are  of  eggs. 

The  work  appeared  in  17  parts,  the  dates  and  contents  of  which  are  given  in 
the  introductory  pages  of  the  various  volumes  (p.  Ill  of  Vols.  I-III;  p.  II 
of  Vol.  I).  These  dates  are  correct  but  omit  to  mention  the  introductory 
matter  of  the  volumes.  In  the  cases  of  Vols.  II-IV,  the  introductory  matter  is 
dated  the  same  month  as  that  given  for  the  issue  of  the  last  part  in  each  of 
those  volumes.  In  Vol.  I,  the  introduction  is  dated  October,  1904  but  the  last 
part  of  that  volume  is  dated  July  1 1 .  Possibly  the  introductory  matter  formed 
a  final  (separate)  part;  if  so  it  would  bring  the  total  number  of  parts  in  all 
volumes  to  18. 

A  supplement  was  issued  in  the  Records  of  the  Australian  Museum,  Vol.

A  popular  account  of  the  birds  of  Holland,  illustrated  by  hand-colored  plates  of 
all  of  the  species,  and  of  the  nests  and  eggs  of  some  of  them.  The  birds  and 
their  habits  are  described  in  detail.  It  appears  to  be  the  first  comprehensive 
work  on  the  ornithology  of  the  region.  It  was  begun  by  Nozeman,  who  died 
in  1789,  and  was  taken  up  by  Houttuyn  who  completed  the  work.  The  dates 
on  the  title-pages  appear  to  be  accurate,  but  Blaauw,  in  "Notes  from  the 
Leyden  Museum,"  Vol.  XV,  p.  185,  1893,  cites  the  dates  as  follows, — 1770, 
1789,  1812,  1826  and  1829, — a  discrepancy  of  15  and  17  years,  respectively,  in 
Volumes  III  and  IV.  No  particulars  are  given  and  the  citations  may  be  in 
error.  The  work  is  sometimes  quoted  as  Nozeman  and  Sepp.

The  original  edition  of  Nuttall's  work,  one  of  the  early  landmarks  in  the  history 
of  American  ornithology.  Descriptions  of  the  species,  including  various  new 
ones,  and  copious  notes  on  their  habits,  based  partly  on  personal  observations 
and  partly  on  the  writings  of  Wilson,  Audubon  and  others,  are  united  to  form 
an  authoritative  and  readable  text.  A  second  edition  of  Vol.  I  (q.v.)  was  issued 
in  1840.  The  present  copy  is  from  the  library  of  Charles  Robert  Bree  who 
secured  it  from  that  of  Rev.  John  Fleming.

A  revised  edition  of  the  first  volume  of  the  earlier  work  of  the  same  title,  1832-34

though cited  by  Coues  as  consisting  of  two  volumes  (including  the  water  birds),

Based  on  Vol.  XXII  of  the  Catalogue  of  Birds  in  the  British  Museum,  by  the 
same  author  (Cf.  British  Museum,  1874-98.),  the  present  little  work  is  a  concise 
monograph  of  all  the  species  of  game  birds  in  the  world  known  at  the  time  of 
publication.  The  descriptions  of  the  various  species  are  given  in  non-technical 
detail,  and  the  habits  and  distributions  are  discussed  at  some  length.  Two  new 
species  are  described  in  the  second  volume.

A  detailed  catalogue  of  the  collection  of  birds  made  in  Brazil  by  Johann  Natterer 
during  the  years  1817  to  1835.  The  collection  consisted  of  12,293  bird-skins 
representing  1238  species.  These  are  arranged  and  listed  and  the  new  forms 
are  described.  Pp.  344-390  contain  an  analysis  of  the  avifauna  of  Brazil. 
Pp.  391-462  contain  a  list  of  all  known  Brazilian  species,  compiled  from  various 
sources,  comprising  a  total  of  1680  species. 

The  work  appeared  in  four  parts,  dates  for  which  are  printed  on  the  reverse  of 
the  title-page,  but  these  dates  as  well  as  that  on  the  title-page  are  unreliable. 
Dr.  C.  E.  Hellmayr  has  kindly  furnished  me  with  the  list  of  the  contents  of 
each  part,  obtained  from  a  copy  of  Pts.  I-III  in  original  covers  which  is  pre- 
served in  the  Museum  Heineanum  in  Halberstadt.  The  dates  on  these  original 
covers  agree  with  the  dates  on  the  reverse  of  the  title-page  of  the  volume.  The 
following  notes  are  available.  Pt.  I  (pp.  1-68,  3  pr.  11.,  pp.  I-XXXI  and  the 
route  map)  bears  the  date  1868  but  the  preface  is  dated  September  1867  and 
the  part  was  noticed  in  the  Journal  fur  Ornithologie  for  September  1867, 
although  this  number  of  the  Journal  may  not  have  appeared  until  1868;  it  is 
likewise  mentioned  by  Sclater  and  Salvin  in  a  paper  read  before  the  Zoological 
Society  of  London  on  January  23,  1868,  although  this  paper  was  not  published 


1926.  CATALOGUE  OF  AYER  LIBRARY — ZIMMER.  487 

until  the  following  year  in  the  Proceedings  for  1868,  p.  55.  Part  I,  therefore, 
must  remain  dated  1868  with  a  strong  probability  that  it  was  actually  pub- 
lished in  1867.  Pt.  II  (pp.  69-188  and  XXXIII-XLIII)  is  dated  1869  but  was 
presented  to  the  Deutsche  Ornith.  Gesellschaft  at  a  meeting  held  on  October 
6,  1868;  furthermore,  the  publishers  have  advised  Dr.  Hellmayr  that  the  part 
was  published  in  late  September  of  that  year.  Pt.  Ill  (pp.  189-390,  XLV-LIX 
and  regional  map)  is  dated  1870  and  was  presented  to  the  Deutsche  Ornith. 
Gesellschaft  at  a  meeting  held  on  February  i  of  that  year.  Pt.  IV  (pp.  391- 
462,  i-i8=addenda  and  index,  and  title-page)  is  dated  1870  and  was  pre- 
sented to  the  Deutsche  Ornith.  Gesellschaft  at  a  meeting  held  on  Oct.  3  of  that 
year,  being  reviewed  in  the  Journal  fur  Ornithologie  for  September. 

The  work  is  indispensable  to  the  student  of  South  American  ornithology.

A  descriptive  account  of  the  birds  and  mammals  of  Great  Britain.  Issued  in  four 
parts  from  1761  to  1766  with  the  107  plates  (9  of  mammals  and  92  of  birds) 
as  specified  on  the  title-page.  To  this  a  fifth  part  was  added  later  with  25 
additional  plates  (2  of  mammals  and  23  of  birds),  making  132  plates  in  all 
(n  of  mammals  and  121  of  birds).  Most  of  the  plates  are  by  Paillou.  This, 
the  original  edition,  was  anonymous;  the  author's  name  appeared  on  the  title- 
page  for  the  first  time  in  the  5th  edition  (according  to  Coues),  but  occurred 
at  the  end  of  the  preface  in  earlier  ones  (Cf.  4th  edition,  1776-77.).  The  text  of 
the  ornithological  section  of  the  present  work  occupies  pp.  57-162.

The  first  number  of  a  projected  work  on  Indian  zoology  which,  in  this  form  and 
edition,  was  abandoned  after  the  issue  of  the  first  part,  here  collated.  The 
plates,  including  three  unpublished  ones,  were  presented  to  Johann  Reinhold 
Forster  who  used  them  in  his  "Zoologia  Indica"  or  "Indische  Zoologie"  (Cf. 
Latham  and  Da  vies,  Faunula  Indica,  1795.).  A  second  edition  of  the  present 
work  (q.v.),  including  a  translation  of  Forster 's  additions  to  it,  appeared  in 
1790.  The  material  for  the  present  work  is  said  to  have  originated  in  notes 
and  drawings  made  in  India  by  John  Gideon  Loten.  PI.  I  is  mammalogical; 
the  remainder  are  ornithological.  See  J.  A.  Allen,  Bull.  Am.  Mus.  Nat.  Hist.,

The  8vo  issue  of  the  fourth  edition  (the  4to  being  entirely  different)  of  Pennant's 
work  (Cf.  orig.  ed.,  1761-66.).  The  illuminated  title-pages  and  subtitle-pages  of 
Vols.  I-III  bear  a  London  imprint  at  variance  with  the  Warrington  imprint 
on  the  printed  title-pages  but  agreeing  with  that  on  the  illuminated  (and  only) 
title-page  of  Vol.  IV.  The  second  illuminated  subtitle-page  of  Vol.  I  and  the 
illuminated  title-page  of  Vol.  II  are  numbered  as  plates;  none  of  the  others  are 
so  numbered.  The  regular  issue  of  this  edition  appears  to  have  uncolored 
plates.  The  ornithological  matter  is  contained  in  Vol.  I,  pp.  153-418,  pll. 
XV-LIX  and  Vol.  II  entire.  Only  Vol.  I  is  inscribed  "Fourth  edition."  The 
copy  contains  the  bookplate  of  W.  H.  Mullens.

The  second  edition.  According  to  the  author's  note,  the  work  was  written  in  1772 
and  presented  (for  use  in  classwork)  to  Dr.  Robert  Ramsay  who  published 
the  first  edition  in  1773,  without  plates.  The  work  consists  of  a  general  discus- 
sion of  ornithology,  followed  by  diagnoses  of  95  genera  under  English  names. 
The  Latin  names  are  given  in  the  synonymy  of  each  genus  and  in  a  table  of 
classification  (pp.  XXII-XXV),  to  which  someone  has  added,  in  manuscript, 
the  page-references.  It  seems  to  have  been  the  original  intention  to  figure  an 
example  of  each  genus,  but  the  appearance  of  Latham's  "General  Synopsis 
of  Birds,"  1781-85  (q.v.),  discouraged  the  project,  as  noted  on  p.  57.

Originally  intended  as  a  sketch  of  the  zoology  of  North  America  but  later  altered 
to  include  descriptions  of  the  quadrupeds  and  birds  of  the  northern  parts  of 
Europe  and  Asia.  Vol.  I  contains  the  introduction,  with  its  account  of  the  north- 
ern regions  and  incidental  mention  of  birds  and  other  animals,  and  the  detailed 
discussion  of  the  mammals.  Vol.  II  is  entirely  ornithological.  No  binomial 
names  are  used,  except  in  the  synonymy,  but  the  full  descriptions  of  new  (and 
other)  forms  formed  the  basis  for  Latin  names  subsequently  applied  by  Gmelin 
and  Latham.  In  1787  a  supplementary  volume  was  issued,  often  cited  as  Vol. 
Ill  of  the  complete  work.  Later  editions  were  published  in  English  and  German.

A  reprint  of  Pennant's  original  "Indian  Zoology,"  1769  (q.v.),  with  a  translation 
of  certain  matter  which  was  added  by  Forster  in  his  Latin-German  edition  of 
1781  (Cf.  Latham  and  Davies,  Faunula  Indica,  1795. ),  and  a  list  of  oriental 
and  near-oriental  animals,  entitled,  "The  Indian  Faunula."  Pages  1-12  contain 
a  translation  of  "An  Essay  on  India"  by  Forster;  pp.  13-27,  "On  the  Birds  of 
Paradise  and  the  Phoenix,"  also  by  Forster.  Pp.  27-56  contain  the  descriptions 
of  the  birds,  fishes  and  the  single  mammal  figured  on  the  sixteen  plates.  Pll. 
VII,  IX,  XIV  and  XVI  are  new  to  this  edition  of  Pennant  being  taken  from 
Forster.  "The  Indian  Faunula"  occupies  pp.  57-161  (67-86  ornithological),  and 
is  credited  by  Pennant  to  Latham  (for  the  portion  on  insects)  and  Davies  (for 
the  remainder).  The  names  of  the  mammals  and  birds  are  given  only  in  English, 
but  to  the  remainder  of  the  species  Latin  binomials  are  assigned.  The  "Faunula" 
was  reprinted  by  Forster,  with  some  additions  and  with  Latin  names  for  the 
birds  and  mammals,  in  his  second  (1795)  edition  of  his  work.  The  present 
copy  has  the  plates  colored  (rare  thus),  and  has  the  flyleaf  inscribed,  "To  the 
honorable  Sir  William  Jones  this  book  is  presented  as  a  small  mark  of  the  esteem 
in  which  the  character  of  Sir  William  is  held  by  his  most  obedient  servant

The  entire  report  of  the  voyage  of  the  Ve'nus  occupies  1 1  vols.  of  text  and  4  vols. 
of  plates,  and  was  issued  from  1840-64.  The  ornithological  portion  of  the 
account  of  this  voyage  was  written  by  PreVost  and  Des  Murs  and  occupies 
pp.  177-284  of  the  volume  on  zoology,  collated  above.  The  volume  was  issued 
entire  in  July  1855  as  Vol.  V,  Pt.  i  of  the  entire  "Voyage,"  but  portions  of  it 
appeared  earlier,  that  on  the  birds  in  1849  (Cf.  Sherborn,  Ann.  and  Mag. 
Nat.  Hist.  Ser.  7,  Vol.  8,  p.  492,  1901.).  The  plates  appeared  in  1846  with  the 
list  which  accompanies  them,  and  as  they  contain  the  new  scientific  names,  the 
latter  must  be  quoted  from  the  plates  and  not  from  the  text.  The  two  volumes 
at  hand  are  richly  bound  with  pigskin  lining,  and  contain  the  bookplate-

The  narrative  of  the  European  settlement  of  Australia  under  Governor  Phillip, 
compiled  from  official  records  and  other  sources.  Incidental  remarks  are  made 
regarding  birds,  both  in  the  general  account  and  in  the  portions  of  the  work 
taken  from  the  journals  of  Lieuts.  Ball  and  Watts.  Special  discussions  of 
various  animals  of  the  region  are  found  in  Chapters  XV  and  XXII  (pp.  144- 
168  and  267-298),  much  of  which  relates  to  birds.  These  are  usually  ascribed 
to  Latham,  to  whom  acknowledgement  is  made  by  the  editors  for  unspecified 
drawings  and  descriptions.  No  binomial  names  are  used  herein,  but  Latham 
included  some  of  the  species  (many  of  which  are  here  figured  for  the  first  time) 
in  his  "Index  Ornithologicus,"  1790  (q.v.).  Second  and  third  editions  of  the 
present  work  were  issued  in  1790,  and  German  and  French  editions  in  1791. 
The  last  plate  is  dated  November  26,  1789;  the  dedication,  November  25,  1789.

October  1889,  and  the  preface  of  that  part,  September  13,  1889.  The  duplicated 
page  (p.  431)  appears  to  be  a  reimpression  without  change.  Although  this 
volume  is  entitled  Vol.  II,  no  Vol.  I  was  issued  before  or  afterward,  and  an 
evident  intention  to  publish  similar  volumes  on  other  groups  of  Russian  birds 
was  never  carried  out.  The  present  work  is  printed  with  the  general  text  in 
both  Russian  and  German,  in  parallel  columns.

An  account  of  the  birds  of  Europe,  discussed  under  vernacular  names  but  with 
some  synonymy  presented  for  each  species.  Only  a  portion  of  the  avifauna  of 
Europe  is  discussed,  with  the  apparent  intention  of  adding  later  volumes,  which, 
however,  were  never  issued.  The  colored  plates  are  steel  engravings,  hand- 
colored.  An  appendix  (pp.  I-XII)  treats  of  bird  collecting  and  preservation, 
illustrated  by  the  uncolored  plates.  This  volume  is  a  revision  of  Lemaire's 
earlier  (1846)  work  of  the  same  title  forming  the  third  volume  (Ser.  2,  No.  i) 
of  the  second  edition  of  the  "Bibliotheque  Zoologique."  The  first  edition  was 
published  in  1837  (Cf.  Lemaire,  Bibliotheque  Zoologique  >  Hist.  Nat.  des

A  catalogue  of  the  birds  of  Caucasia,  with  systematic  and  distributional  notes  on 
each  species  and  descriptions  of  several  new  forms.  The  work  appears  to  have 
been  issued  in  four  parts,  but  I  am  unable  to  distinguish  each  part.  At  the 
meeting  of  the  Deutsche  Ornithologische  Gesellschaft  on  May  5,  1884,  the 
first  lieferung  (probably  with  2  pll.)  was  presented.  At  the  meeting  on  Sep- 
tember i,  1884,  2  parts  (embracing  lieferungen  2  to  16  and  12  pll.)  were  pre- 
sented. The  Ibis  for  January  1885  reviews  three  parts  of  the  work  (including 
pp.  1-480  (?)  and  pll.  I-XVI).  The  entire  work  was  reviewed  by  Madarasz  in 
the  "Zeitschr.f.d.Gesammte  Ornith."  for  January  1885;  the  preface  of  the  work 
is  dated  August  1884  and  the  title-page,  1884;  so  the  final  work  probably 
appeared  near  the  close  of  the  year  1884.  Pages  588  and  589  contain  a  first 
supplement  to  the  work.  The  second  supplement  was  published  in  the  "Journ. 
f.  Orn."  XXXIII  Jahrg.,  pp.  74-81,  1885.  The  third  and  fourth  supplements 
were  published  in  the  "Ornis"  for  1887,  pp.  457-500;  and  1890,  pp.  400-441, 
respectively.  A  reprint  of  the  fourth  supplement,  paged  1-43,  is  inserted  in  the

This  work,  according  to  its  own  title-page,  is  a  translation  of  the  "Synopsis

additions  often  far  exceed  the  translations  which  serve  mainly  as  a  basis  for

the  extended  remarks  by  Salerne.  The  book,  like  Ray's  "Synopsis"  is  post- 
humous. The  subject  matter  consists  of  a  review  of  the  birds  of  the  world, 
with  brief  descriptions,  notes  on  distribution  and  habits,  vernacular  names, 
and  other  such  matter.  The  volume  was  intended  to  form  one  of  a  series  of 
which  at  least  one  other  part  (on  "La  Lithologie,  la  Conchyliologie  et  la  Zo- 
omorphose,"  by  Ant.  Jos.  Dezollier  d'Argenville)  was  issued,  in  1742-57.  The 
interleaved  plates  from  the  Sonnini  edition  of  Buffon's  "Histoire  Naturelle," 
180005  (q-v.)  are  extraneous.

A  recent  edition  of  this  popular,  pocket-sized  handbook  for  the  identification,  in 
the  field,  of  the  common  eastern  land  birds  of  North  America.  The  first  edition 
was  published  in  1906.  A  colored  figure  is  given  of  each  species,  together  with 
a  brief  discussion  of  each  and  with  a  "field  key"  at  the  close  of  the  volume. 
The  colors  of  most  of  the  figures  are  less  accurate  than  in  the  early  editions  of 
+he  work.  The  volume  forms  Pt.  2  of  the  "Bird  Guide,"  being  accessory  to  a 
similar  volume  on  water  birds.  A  companion  volume  is  found  in  the  author's

Part  of  the  original  work, — precursor  of  Reichenbach's  "Die  Vollstandigste

freund,  od.  praktisch  Gemeinnutz.  Naturgesch.  des  In-  und  Auslandes,"  etc., 
1834-43.  The  text  at  hand  consists  of  a  list  of  the  figures  on  the  plates,  (1-408, 
Schwimmvogel;  417-731,  Sumpfvogel),  with  vernacular  and  scientific  names 
and  the  habitats  of  the  species.  The  plates  are  missing.  In  general,  the 
numbering  of  the  figures  as  indicated  in  the  text  shows  no  affinity  to  that  of 
the  figures  in  the  "Vollstandigste  Naturgeschichte,"  but  in  a  few  cases  (Alba- 
trosses and  Flamingoes),  the  numbering  agrees  and  points  to  a  probability 
that  some  of  the  figures  of  the  present  work  were  adapted  for  use  in  its  successor.

Under  the  above  title  are  grouped  various  parts  of  a  detailed,  comprehensive 
work  which  was  issued  under  a  variety  of  cover-titles  at  irregular  intervals  in  a 
most  confusing  manner.  The  entire  work  is  extremely  puzzling  as  to  arrange- 
ment and  method  of  appearance  and  I  can  find  no  complete  and  accurate  colla- 
tion of  the  various  components.  As  nearly  as  I  can  decide  from  available 
material  and  references,  the  history  of  the  work  is  somewhat  as  follows. 

The  book  started  as  "Der  Naturfreund,  oder  praktisch-gemeinnutzige 
Naturgeschichte  des  In-  und  Auslandes,"  1834-43.  Of  this  early  work,  two 
parts  are  present  in  the  set  at  hand  (Cf.  Praktisch-gemeinnutz.  Naturg.  der 
Vogel,  1836-?).  In  1884,  the  title  was  changed  and  the  work  continued  (or 
begun  anew)  as  quoted  above.  Several  numbers  of  plates  were  issued  under 
subtitles  of  "Die  Vollstandigste  Naturgeschichte  der  Schwimmvogel  [Sumpf- 
vogel], etc.,  1845-48  (q.v.),  shortly  thereafter  followed  by  installments  of  text. 
At  first,  the  text  consisted  merely  of  a  "Synopsis  Avium"  or  list  of  species 
containing  references  to  the  illustrations.  These  synopses  were  continued  for 
five  groups  of  birds,  the  Natatores  to  the  Gallinaceae,  and  were  considered  as 
Nos.  I-III  of  a  series,  although  I  and  II  are  not  actually  so  numbered.  They 
were  issued  in  1847  and  1848.  The  series  of  plates  includes  many  not  discussed 
in  the  "Synopsis"  (apparently  being  of  later  issue),  and  to  discuss  these,  a 


506  FIELD  MUSEUM  OF  NATURAL  HISTORY — ZOOLOGY,  VOL.  XVI. 

leaflet  called,  "Novitiae  ad  Synopsin  Avium",  Nos.  IV-VII  (VI  being  missing 
from  the  present  set)  was  issued  from  time  to  time  in  1850  and  1851.  At  the 
close  of  each  number  of  this  "Novitiae,"  is  a  summary  of  the  plates  published 
to  date  in  the  respective  groups  of  birds,  arranged  according  to  classification, 
with  necessary  interpolations. 

In  the  meantime  a  series  of  uncolored  plates  of  anatomical  details  was  pub- 
lished in  four  parts  in  1849  and  1850  under  the  title  of  "Avium  Systema  Natur- 
ale,"  without  accompanying  text.  The  text  appeared  in  1853  as  Lieferung  3  of 
the  "Handbuch"  (mentioned  below).  In  1851  the  plates  were  continued,  be- 
ginning with  the  Alcedineae  and  running  through  the  Picinae  but  excluding 
the  Trochilinae.  There  were  five  fasciculi  of  these  plates,  each  of  which  was 
accompanied  (or  shortly  followed)  by  a  descriptive  text  entitled,  "Handbuch 
der  Speciellen  Ornithologie."  The  various  parts  of  this  text  were  each  prefixed 
by  a  list  of  species,  with  plate-references,  entitled  "Incones  ad  Synopsin  Avium/' 
sometimes  paged  with  the  text,  sometimes  unpaged,  and  numbered  VIII-XII 
in  continuation  of  the  "Synopsis"  and  "Novitiae."  The  original  wrappers  of 
these  parts  are  marked  as  Lieferungen  i,  2,  4,  5  and  6.  Lief.  3  comprised  the 
text  of  the  "Avium  Systema  Naturele"  and  8  is  said  to  have  been  the  first 
portion  of  the  special  text  relating  to  the  pigeons  (mentioned  later);  7  and 
other  numbers  subsequent  to  8,  if  any,  I  can  not  trace.  The  five  parts  properly 
belonging  here  are  dated  from  1851-1854.  Following  the  Picinae,  the  plates 
of  the  Trochilinae  appeared  from  1855  to  1857,  but,  instead  of  the  regular 
text,  a  revision  of  a  former  brief  paper  by  the  author  was  published  with  the 
first  of  the  plates  in  1855,  under  the  title  of  "Trochilinarum  Enumeratio;" 
this  serves  as  the  only  available  letterpress  for  the  plates  of  this  group. 

The  pigeons,  already  briefly  treated  in  the  "Synopsis"  and  "Novitiae  VI" 
were  taken  up  in  detail  in  a  special  paper  called,  "Die  vollstandigste  Naturge- 
schichte  der  Tauben,"  of  which  the  first  part  was  issued  in  1861  as  Lief.  3  of 
the  "Handbuch."  A  second  part,  with  9  new  plates,  appeared  as  Lief.  9  and 
10  of  the  "Central  Atlas"  but  it  was  paged  in  continuance  of  the  first  part. 
The  portions  of  the  first  part  of  the  volume  which  deal  with  the  Curassows 
and  Guans  (pp.  129  pt.  -160)  appear  to  have  been  issued  also  in  another  form 
as  Lief,  i  and  5  of  the  "Central  Atlas."  This  "Central  Atlas"  seems  to  have 
been  a  medium  for  producing  miscellaneous  addenda  to  the  earlier  parts  of  the 
book  and  contains  a  number  of  papers  on  Mammalia  belonging  to  Abtheilung 
I  of  the  entire  work.  Lieferungen  i,  5,  9  and  10  have  been  mentioned.  Lief. 
..6-8,  11-13  and  17-19  were  issued  in  1862  and  1863  and  contained  a  descriptive 
account  of  "Die  Singvogel"  (as  far  as  completed)  with  51  plates,  separately 
numbered. 

Two  other  titles  are  sometimes  considered  as  part  of  the  above  general  work, 
the  "Deutschlands  Vogel,"  1842,  and  "Die  Vogel  Neuhollands,"  1845-50. 
Both  seem  to  have  been  issued  also  separately,  the  former  as  part  of  "Deutsch- 
land  Fauna";  the  latter,  at  least,  utilized  the  plates  of  the  larger  work. 

In  the  volume  on  Natatores  examined,  there  are  8  leaves  of  text  relating  to 
pll.  1-14  as  finally  arranged,  which  I  am  unable  to  place  satisfactorily  (Cf.  Die 
vollst.  Naturg.  der  Schwimmvogel.).  The  plates  exhibit  a  multiplicity  of  styles 
of  numbering  which  I  have  discussed  under  the  separate  portions  of  the  work 
where  they  appear.  Detailed  collation  of  the  various  sections  may  be  found 
under  the  following  heads.

is  found  in  the  "Synopsis  Avium"  and  the  "Novitiae  ad  Synopsin  Avium," 
1847-48  and  1850-51  (q.v.).  The  Columbariae  are  further  treated  in  "Die 
Vollstandigste  Naturgeschichte  der  Tauben,"  1861-62  (q.v.).  A  few  of  the 
plates  of  the  Gallinaceae  seem  to  belong  to  a  separate  issue  entitled,  "Die 
Haushuhner,  1848?  (q.v.). 

The  numbering  of  the  plates  is  very  confusing.    Throughout  the  entire 
series  (except  the  plates  of  "Die  Singvogel,"  the  "Avium  Systema  Naturale" 


508   FIELD  MUSEUM  OF  NATURAL  HISTORY — ZOOLOGY,  VOL.  XVI. 

and  a  few  others)  each  plate  bears  a  serial  number  in  the  upper  right-hand  cor- 
ner. This  serial  number  runs  from  I  to  DCCCLV  and  seems  to  indicate,  in  a 
measure,  the  order  of  preparation  of  the  plates.  From  the  Natatores  to  the 
Gallinaceae,  it  is  the  number  used  for  reference  in  the  "Synopsis  Avium."1 

Some  of  the  plates  carry  a  "Suppl."  number  in  the  middle  of  the  upper  mar- 
gin. This  number  indicates  the  position  of  these  plates  as  they  are  to  be  inter- 
polated in  the  series;  the  plates  marked  in  this  way  were  probably  prepared 
correspondingly  later  than  most  of  the  regular  series,  judging  by  the  higher 
numbers  given  to  the  individual  figures  of  birds  on  them.  The  "Suppl."  number, 
however,  is  not  used  for  any  reference  in  the  text. 

A  further  set  of  the  plates  of  the  Natatores — Gallinaceae  have  a  third  num- 
ber, prefixed  by  "Novit."  in  the  upper  left-hand  corner.  These  plates  are  not 
discussed  in  the  "Synopsis"  and  appear  to  have  been  issued  after  the  publica- 
tion of  the  corresponding  portions  of  that  pamphlet.  On  the  middle  of  the 
upper  margin  of  these  plates  there  is  still  a  different  number  with  a  qualifying 
letter  (such  as  XXXb,  XIa,  etc.),  indicating  the  position  of  each  plate  in  the 
primary  series.  These  plates  are  discussed  (with  a  few  exceptions)  in  the 
"Novitiae"  where  all  three  of  their  numbers  are  used  for  reference. 

In  addition  to  the  above  enumerations,  a  table  is  given  at  the  close  of  each 
number  of  the  "Novitiae,"  showing  the  final  arrangement  of  all  the  plates 
issued  to  date  in  the  respective  portions  of  the  work  and  assigning  an  Arabic 
numeral  (sometimes  qualified  by  a  letter)  to  each  plate.  These  Arabic  numerals 
are  placed,  or  it  is  requested  that  they  be  placed,  at  the  bottom  of  the  plates  in 
question,  where  sometimes  they  may  be  found  in  the  series  from  the  Natatores 
to  the  Gallinaceae.  In  the  descriptive  text  to  the  Columbariae,  they  are  used 
as  reference-numbers.  With  the  exception  of  the  additional  plates  of  "Die 
Haushuhner"  and  of  the  Columbariae,  they  may  be  checked  by  the  lists  in 
the  various  numbers  of  the  "Novitiae."  With  the  further  exceptions  of  ma, 
i  nb  and  igjb  (=391)  and  lacking  278-280,  they  are  continuous  throughout 
this  series. 

The  dates  of  the  plates  are  not  definitely  ascertainable,  but  as  only  those  of 
the  Natatores  which  are  treated  in  the  first  number  of  the  "Synopsis"  are  named 
on  the  plates,  most  of  the  dates  are  unimportant.  The  work  appeared  in 
livraisons  of  about  10  pll.  each  as  is  indicated  by  notes  in  some  of  the  numbers 
of  the  "Synopsis":  Natatores,  Grallatores  and  Fulicariae  et  Rallariae  (I-CXX- 
IX),  13  livrs.;  Columbariae  (CXX-CLXXVIII),  5  livrs. ;  Gallinaceae  (CLXXIX 
-CCLXIII),  12  (?)  livrs.  Assuming  that  the  plates  discussed  in  the  "Novitiae" 
(but  not  in  the  "Synopsis")  appeared  after  the  "Synopsis,"  the  inclusive  dates 
may  be  indicated  thus  (after  data  from  Meyer's  "Index  zu  L.  Reichenbach's 
Orn.  Werken").  Natatores,  Febr.  20,  1845-  (post)  1848.  Grallatores,  June  3,

bariae (pll.  220-277),  June  16,  1848.  Gallinaceae  (pll.  281-390),  June  16,  1848. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  volume  on  Natatores  there  are  8  leaves  of  text  relat- 
ing to  pll.  1-4  as  finally  arranged;  since  certain  "Novitiae"  plates  are  included 
these  leaves  must  date  after  the  "Synopsis  I."  This  text  I  am  unable  to  place 
in  its  proper  position  as  regards  publication.  The  pages  are  the  full  size  of  the 


'Pll.  I  and  III  of  the  original  series  appear  to  have  been  cancelled  since  those  numbers  do  not  agree 
with  the  list  in  the  "Synopsis."  They  were  replaced  by  I  and  la  (for  I)  and  CCCXLIV  (for  III) 
discussed  in  the  "Novitiae"  (Cf.  infra.).

The  above  title  is  quoted  from  Cams  and  Engelmann.  No  text  is  cited  there  for

15  plates  of  domestic  fowls,  Nos.  365a-36sag  and  366-373,  which  probably 
form  the  illustrations  included  under  the  above  title.  Of  these,  366-373  belong 
to  the  regular  issue  of  the  plates  of  the  Gallinaceae;  the  remainder  are  probably 
of  special  issue  for  this  present  work.  No  definite  date  is  available.

what similar  to  the  "Synopsis  Avium,"  1847-48,  and  "Novitiae  ad  Synopsin 
Avium,"  1850-51  (of  the  Grallatores  to  the  Columbariae),  and  numbered  in 
continuation  of  those  series.  The  portions  collated  under  this  title  were  issued 
in  5  Lieferungen  under  the  cover- title  of  "Handbuch  der  speciellen  Ornithologie." 
Lief.  I  contained  Icones  VIII  with  text  and  plates;  2,  Icones  IX,  etc. ;  3,  (original 
wrapper  not  present)  consisted  of  the  text  to  the  "Avium  Systema  Naturale," 
1849-53  (q.v.),  not  included  under  the  present  title;  4,  contained  Icones  IX 
(  =  X),  etc.;  5,  Icones  XI,  etc.;  6,  Icones  XII,  etc.3.  The  Trochilinae  should 
have  begun  in  Lief.  5  but  were  deferred  until  later,  being  issued  eventually 
without  other  text  than  the  "Trochilinarum  enumeratio,"  1855-57  (q-v.).  A 
few  of  them  may  have  constituted  Lief.  7.  Lief.  8  appears  to  have  consisted 
of  the  first  part  of  "Die  Vollstandigste  Naturgeschichte  der  Tauben,"  1861-62 
(q.v.). 

The  plates  in  the  present  series  are  numbered  primarily  as  shown  in  the 
above  collation  but  some  of  them,  which  were  prepared  out  of  proper  sequence, 
bear  an  additional  number  with  a  qualifying  letter  indicating  their  proper 
place  in  final  arrangement;  thus  "CCCCIIIb  =  CCCCLXXVII"  or  "CCCC-

different  section  of  the  work.  Plates  adjacent  to  the  original  position  of  these 
transferred  numbers  carry  an  inscription  indicating  the  consequent  hiatus  in 
the  continuity  of  the  series  at  these  points. 

These  plates  deal  entirely  with  the  details  of  heads,  feet,  wings  and  tails  of 
birds,  illustrating  the  various  genera  and  forming  a  sort  of  introduction  to  the 
author's  "Die  Vollstandigste  Naturgeschichte,"  1845-63  (q.v.).  They  were 
possibly  issued  as  cited  in  the  titles  but  are  grouped  in  nine  sections,  each  under 
a  special,  engraved  subtitle  as  follows.  Natatores,  pll.  I-X,  Grallatores,  pll. 
XI-XVIII;  Rasores,  pll.  XIX-XXXII;  Insessores  Investigatores,  pll.  XXXIII- 
LI;  Insessores  Trepidatores,  pll.  LII-LXXI;  Insessores  Enucleatores,  pll. 
LXXII-LXXXVI;  Insessores  Raptatores,  pll.  LXXVII-C.  The  text,  whose 
preface  is  dated  October  i,  1852,  contains  a  general  review  of  the  classification 
of  birds,  with  a  systematic  catalogue  of  genera  and  typical  species,  but  includes 
only  the  Natatores  to  Gallinaceae;  apparently  it  was  never  completed.  It  was 
issued  as  Lieferung  3  of  the  "Handbuch  der  Speciellen  Ornithologie,"  1851-54 
(q.v.),  but  is  paged  separately  and  has  no  direct  connection  with  that  title 
except  as  both  are  parts  of  the  same  general  work.  Richmond  (Proc.  U.  S.  Nat. 
Mus.  53  p.  615,  footn.  1917)  regards  the  actual  date  of  publication  as  1853.

and  a  number  defining  the  position  of  the  plate  in  the  complete  series  (Cf.

to  have  been  issued  regularly  in  1861  but  regarding  the  rest  of  the  first  part  of 
this  volume  there  is  some  uncertainty.  In  footnotes  to  pp.  3  and  4  of  "Die 
Singvogel,"  1862-63  (q.v.),  the  statements  are  made  that  the  genus  Penelope 
was  specially  treated  in  Pt.  V  of  the  "Central  Atlas"  and  that  Pt.  I  of  the  same 
dealt  with  the  Hoccos  (Curassows).  In  the  present  volume,  the  Curassows 
occupy  pp.  129  (pt.)-i4i  (pt.),  and  Penelope  with  its  allies,  pp.  141  (pt.)-i6o, 
agreeing  with  the  number  of  pages  for  Pts.  I  and  V  of  the  "Central  Atlas" 
as  catalogued  by  the  British  Museum  (Natural  History).  As  exhibited  by 
the  copy  at  hand,  however,  the  letterpress  for  these  two  groups  is  inseparable 
from  the  rest  of  the  volume  and  indivisible  on  account  of  overlapping  text  and 
signatures,  so  the  same  reading  matter  may  have  been  issued  both  as  part  of 
the  present  volume  and  as  Pts.  I  and  V  of  the  "Central  Atlas."  A  review  in 
the  Ibis  for  October  1861,  p.  405,  announces  the  complete  account  of  the 
Columbariae,  including  the  family  Cracidae,  as  appearing  in  the  eighth  Lief- 
erung  of  the  "Handbuch  der  speciellen  Ornithologie,"  which  would  imply  that 
the  whole  of  the  first  part  came  out  entire.  According  to  a  footnote  on  p.  205 
of  Pt.  II  of  the  present  work,  pll.  2?2b  and  2?3b  appeared  with  the  "Central 
Atlas"  No.  i,  but  they  are  discussed,  not  in  the  text  on  the  Curassaos  in  Pt. 
I,  but  in  Pt.  II.  Pt.  II,  with  pll.  "Novit."  I-VII  and  VIII-IX  (  =  27ib  and 
ayic),  appeared  later,  in  1862,  as  Nos.  IX  and  X  of  the  "Central-Atlas."

according  to  the  Cat.  Libr.  British  Museum  (Nat.  Hist.)],  and  forming  Part 
II  of  the  complete  work.  Under  its  separate  subtitle  of  "Deutschlands  Vogel" 
it  is,  itself,  divided  into  Parts  I  and  II.  Most  of  the  ornithology  is  by  Hahn 
whose  name  appears  alone  on  the  subtitle-page.  The  general  text  (unpaged) 
consists  of  descriptions  and  discussions  of  the  various  species  which  are  figured 
on  the  plates.  Most  of  the  signatures  are  signed  by  Hahn,  many  are  unsigned, 
and  at  least  one  is  followed  by  Reider's  name.  A  general  review  of  the  contents 
is  given  on  the  numbered  pages  in  Vol.  I,  where  the  plates,  themselves  un- 
numbered, are  catalogued  as  if  numbered  in  sequence  from  i  to  182.  The 
nomenclature  of  this  review  is  not  consistent  with  that  of  the  general  text  nor 
that  of  the  plates,  nor  do  the  text  and  plates  always  agree  in  this  respect.

A  popular  account  of  87  game  birds  of  north-eastern  North  America,  with  general 
descriptions,  notes  on  habits,  distribution,  methods  of  hunting,  etc.  The  work 
is  excellently  written  and  accurate,  and  is  illustrated  with  a  profusion  of  draw- 
ings which  add  to  its  value.  It  is  intended  for  the  sportsman  but  is  of  distinctly 
broader  utility.

An  important  work  on  the  birds  of  North  America  north  of  the  forty-eighth  paral- 
lel. Detailed  descriptions  are  given,  with  synonymy  and  critical  remarks,  and 
there  are  lengthy  discussions  (by  Swainson)  on  the  Quinary  System  of  classifi- 
cation with  relation  to  the  species  treated  or  in  general.  The  authorship  is 
divided.  In  general  Swainson  is  responsible  for  the  classification  and  synonymy 
and  Richardson  for  the  actual  descriptions,  with  most  of  Swainson's  contribu- 
tions further  identified  by  his  subjoined  initial.  Some  of  the  new  names  are  by 
one  author,  some  by  the  other,  and  the  remainder  by  both,  as  stated  in  each 
instance.  The  plates  are  by  Swainson.  The  work  exists,  also,  with  uncolored 
plates.  The  date  on  the  title-page  is  1831,  but  Richmond  (Auk,  1899,  p.  327) 
gives  February,  1832  as  the  correct  date.  The  work  is  first  mentioned  in  the 
Magazine  of  Natural  History  for  March  1832  (p.  186),  as  having  been  pub- 
lished in  1831,  and  it  is  reviewed  in  the  same  periodical  for  May,  1832  (pp.  360- 
364),  as  having  appeared  in  1832.  Swainson,  himself,  in  his  "On  the  Natural 
History  and  Classification  of  Birds"  in  Lardner's  "Cabinet  Cyclopaedia," 
Vol.  I,  p.  218,  1836-37  (q.v.),  cites  the  work  under  date  of  1831  as  "i  vol.  in  2 
parts."  If  the  latter  statement  is  not  misleading  (on  account  of  the  entire 
ornithological  volume  forming  the  second  part  of  the  "Fauna"),  it  is  possible 
that  a  Pt.  I  of  the  "Birds"  (limits  unknown)  was  issued  in  1831,  and  the  re- 
mainder in  1832.  I  can  find  no  confirmation  of  the  statement  by  Swainson. 
The  work  is  sometimes  quoted  as  "Northern  Zoology."  In  a  portion  of  Swain- 
son's  controversy  with  Vigors,  in  a  letter  written  October  i,  1831  and  published 
in  the  Mag.  Nat.  Hist.  4,  p.  483  (Nov.,  1831),  Swainson  refers  the  reader  to 
"North.  Zoology,  vol.  ii,  p.  315,"  saying  that,  "I  have  there,  long  ago,  spoken," 
etc.  This  implies,  but  does  not  prove,  that  p.  483  of  the  work  in  question  had 
been  published  at  least  by  the  ist  of  October,  1831.  Robert  Jameson,  in  his 
edition  of  Wilson's  "American  Ornithology,"  1831  (q.v.),  4  pp.  244-362,  gives 
some  extracts  from  the  proof  sheets  of  the  present  work  intermixed  with  selec- 
tions from  other  authors  and  personal  remarks  of  his  own.  It  is  possible  that 
these  pages  from  Jameson  antedate  the  publication  of  the  present  work.

The  zoological  report  of  the  expedition  of  the  Erebus  and  Terror  to  New  Zealand 
and  Antarctic  regions.  The  section  on  birds  (pp.  1-39  of  Vol.  I)  consists  of  a 
report  on  the  birds  of  New  Zealand  by  G.  R.  Gray  and  an  appendix  to  the  same 
prepared  by  R.  B.  Sharpe.  Gray's  original  paper  was  published  in  parts  (as  was 
all  of  the  work)  at  dates  which  are  not  all  definitely  known.  Sherborn  (Index 
Animalium,  Sect.  2,  Pt.  I,  p.  XLIX,  1922)  cites  pp.  1-8,  1844;  and  9-20,  1845. 
To  this,  Mathews  (Birds  of  Australia,  Suppl.  4,  Pt.  I,  p.  61,  1925)  adds  from 
Newton  and  Pucheran  (references  not  given)  the  information  that  pp.  9-12 
were  issued  in  Pt.  IX  in  June  1845,  and  17-20  with  pi.  21  in  Oct.  1845.  Pp. 
21-39  and  pll.  i,  7,  20*,  27,  29,  30,  31  and  32  are  cited  in  the  Zoological  Record 
for  1875,  being  the  portion  published  by  Sharpe.  A  complete  list  of  the  plates 
issued  originally,  and  those  issued  with  the  appendix,  is  given  by  Sharpe  on  pp. 
38-39  of  the  present  work,  Vol.  I.  A  new  title-page,  or  subtitle,  is  supplied  for 
the  ornithology  (and  similarly  for  most  of  the  other  sections  of  the  work).  This 
differs  from  the  general  title-page  in  the  date,  here  given  as  "M.DCCC.XLVL- 
M.DCCC.LXXV.",  and  in  lines  13  and  14  of  the  original  which  are  here  re- 
placed by  the  following  6  lines,  "Birds.  |  By  |  George  Robert  Gray,  F.R.S..&C.,  |

A  detailed  account  of  the  birds  of  prey  of  Germany  and  adjacent  parts  of  Europe. 
The  discussion  of  each  species  is  divided  into  sections  on  description,  distribu- 
tion, life-history  and  methods  of  hunting.  According  to  a  contemporary  review 
in  the  Zoological  Record,  the  nomenclature  adopted  is  antiquated  even  for  that 
date.  The  chromolithographic  plates  vary  in  quality;  some  of  them  are  very 
fair.  The  work  was  issued  in  parts  of  which  the  Zoological  Record  for  1876 
records  the  first;  the  same  journal  for  1877  records  the  apparent  conclusion  of 
the  work  with  Pts.  II-XII  of  text  and  II-XIV  of  plates,  but  the  introduction 
(p.  XVI)  is  dated  1878.

A  critical  review  and  catalogue  of  the  collections  of  the  Rijksmuseum  van  Natur- 
lijke  Historic.  As  presented,  the  work  consists  of  a  series  of  separately  paged 
monographs  of  different  groups.  As  will  be  noted,  Vol.  VII  deals  with  mammals ; 
all  the  remaining  volumes  except  IX  (Index)  are  ornithological.  Numerous 
new  species  are  described.  Vol.  IX  (Index)  is  by  Jentink  and  Vol.  I,  pp.  1-98 
(Buccones)  is  by  Goffin;  the  remainder  of  the  work,  as  here  collated,  is  by 
Schlegel.  More  recently,  in  1907,  Vol.  X  has  been  published,  consisting  of  a 
catalogue  of  avian  fossils  by  E.  D.  van  Oort.  This  volume  is  not  in  the  series 
at  hand.  The  work  appeared  in  14  livraisons  (excluding  Vol.  X).  Each  mono- 
graph is  dated  separately  on  its  initial  page  but  the  dates  appear  to  be  those 
of  the  completion  of  the  manuscript  or  of  printing,  not  of  publication,  al- 
though they  sometimes  furnish  approximate  dates  for  the  livraisons  in  which 
they  appeared.  The  approximate  dates  and  the  contents  of  the  various 
livraisons  are  as  follows.

A  systematic  review  of  the  birds  of  the  Arctic  Ice-sea  and  its  islands,  with  con- 
siderable synonymy,  some  descriptions,  and  notes  on  the  distribution  and  time 
of  occurrence  of  each  of  the  270  forms  of  birds  included  in  the  discussion.  A 
lengthy  bibliography  precedes  the  general  text,  and  distribution-tables  and  a 
comparative  study  of  the  Arctic  and  Antarctic  avifaunas  are  appended.  The 
work,  entirely  by  Schalow,  forms  No.  2  of  the  first  livraison  of  Vol.  IV  of  the 
"Fauna  Arctica"  edited  by  Romer  and  Schaudinn  and  published  in  five  volumes, 
1900-10.  The  title  transcribed  above  is  from  the  original  wrapper  which 
bears  the  date  1904,  the  year  in  which  the  work  was  reviewed  by  Hellmayr 
in  the  Archiv  fur  Naturgeschichte,  although  later  bibliographers  have  quoted 
the  date  as  1905.  The  present  copy  is  autographed  by  Schalow  who  presented 
it  to  Tschusi  zu  Schmidhoffen.

A  popular  account  of  the  ducks  and  shore  birds  of  the  northeastern  United 
States,  with  descriptions  of  some  of  them  (taken  from  Giraud's  Birds  of  Long 
Island,  1844,  q.v.).  The  text  is  devoted,  principally,  to  methods  of  hunting 
and  to  various  hunting  experiences  of  the  author.

observation  and  collection  of  natural  history  data  and  specimens,  and  was 
placed  in  charge  of  this  branch  of  the  work  by  Captain  Ross.  On  the  return 
of  the  expedition,  Sabine  declined  to  furnish  any  report  on  the  grounds  of  lack 
of  ability  and  knowledge  of  any  branch  of  natural  history  except  ornithology, 
yet  he  published  "A  Memoir  on  the  Birds  of  Greenland"  (Trans.  Linn.  Soc. 
London,  12,  pt.  2,  pp.  527-559,  pi.  30,  1819)  based  on  his  notes  of  the  voyage. 
The  zoological  report  in  the  present  work  is  accredited  by  Ross  to  John  Ed- 
wards and  C.  J.  Beverly,  Surgeon  and  Assistant  Surgeon,  respectively,  of  the 
Isabella,  and  to  W.  E.  Leach  who  revised  the  paper.  Leach  and  Joseph  Sa-

The  zoology  of  Ruppell's  journey  in  northern  Africa  and  the  district  of  the  Red 
Sea  from  1822-27.  According  to  Engelmann,  the  work  appeared  in  20  parts. 
The  ornithological  portion  was  written  by  Cretzschmar  and  contains  descrip- 
tions of  the  species  of  birds  (some  of  them  new),  all  of  which  are  illustrated  on 
the  36  colored  plates  in  this  section  of  the  work.  The  subtitle  of  this  section 
bears  the  date  1826  but  Ruppell,  in  his  "Neue  Wirbelthiere,"  p.  50,  quotes  pi. 
28  of  the  present  work  under  date  of  1827.  In  the  Zoological  Journal,  IV,  p. 
385,  (for  Oct.  1828  to  Jan.  1829),  Pts.  I-VIII  of  the  work  are  reviewed  in 
detail.  The  eight  numbers  are  credited  with  six  plates  each,  including  some 
plates  belonging  to  other  non-ornithological  sections  of  the  work;  their  orni- 
thological contents  embrace  pp.  1-38  and  pll.  1-25.  A  second  "Abtheilung" 
was  intended  to  contain  the  geography  of  the  expedition,  but  was  never  issued 
as  such;  the  "Reisen  in  Nubien,"  etc.,  1829,  and  the  "Voyage  dans  1'Afrique 
et  en  Nubie"  1826  et  seq.,  appear  to  constitute  the  equivalent.  A  continuation 
of  the  present  portions  of  the  work  is  found  in  the  "Neue  Wirbelthiere  zu  der 
Fauna  von  Abyssinien  gehorig,"  1835-40  (q.v.).

A  continuation  of  Ruppell's  "Atlas  zu  der  Reise  im  nordlichen  Afrika,"  containing 
descriptions  of  new  mammals,  birds,  reptiles  and  fishes.  The  work  appears  to 
have  been  issued  in  13  Lieferungen  (according  to  the  preface)  during  the  years 
1835  to  1840.  A  review,  in  the  Magazine  of  Zoology  and  Botany,  i,  No.  Ill, 
p.  275,  1846  (after  Aug.  25),  records  6  parts  issued  at  intervals  of  three  months 
beginning  January  i,  1835.  Two  ornithological  parts  are  included  in  this 
review,  embracing  pll.  1-12  and  pp.  1-32.  On  p.  109  of  the  Mag.  Zool.  Bot.  I, 
No.  i,  1837,  is  the  statement  that  each  of  the  first  four  fasciculi  was  devoted  to  a 
separate  section  of  the  subject,  so  that  part  i  of  the  birds  (pp.  1-16  and  pll.  1-6) 
seems  to  be  properly  dated  1835.  Part  2  of  the  birds  is  probably  referable  to 
1836.  Page  81  must  have  been  published  in  or  after  March  I8371;  p.  94  in  or 
after  :8382;  and  p.  99  in  or  after  1839*.  The  preface  is  dated  May  i,  1840.  The

The  mammalogy  and  ornithology  of  Ramon  de  la  Sagra's  history  of  Cuba.  This 
work  was  issued,  1839-61,  in  two  editions,  Spanish  and  French, — the  former 
probably  the  earlier  although  both  bear  the  same  dates  on  the  respective  parts. 
Engelmann  divides  the  publication  into  75  livraisons  and  quotes  the  mammals 
and  birds  in  one  volume  (as  above)  as  well  as  in  two  volumes,  separately.  The 
ornithological  portion,  by  d'Orbigny,  dates  from  1839.  Probably  only  32 
plates  (I-XXXI  and  XIX  bis)  were  issued  originally;  the  list  of  plates  in  the 
Atlas  tabulates  only  these  and  there  is  evidence  that  the  final  plate  of  eggs  (pi. 
XXXII)  was  not  issued  until  1843  (Cf.  Sagra,  Album  d'Oiseaux  de  Cuba.). 
The  work  contains  a  summary  of  the  knowledge  of  Cuban  birds  to  date,  as  well 
as  descriptions  of  the  new  forms  contained  in  de  la  Sagra's  collections.  The 
present  copy  contains  the  autograph  of  Wm.  Jardine  on  an  original  wrapper 
which  is  bound  in  the  volume  of  text...

2  vols.  in  i  vol.,  demy  folio  and  medium  folio.  Text,  pp.  1-16.  Atlas,

XlXbis  (col.;  by  Pretre,  E.  Travies  and  HubHer;  birds).  Paris. 

The  present  work  is  somewhat  puzzling.  The  text  appears  to  consist  of  a  very 
general  discussion  of  the  rich  variety  of  Cuban  bird-life,  followed  by  a  synoptic 
list  of  species  supposedly  copied  from  d'Orbigny's  arrangement  in  de  la  Sagra's 
"Histoire  Physique,  Politique  et  Naturelle  de  1'Ile  de  Cuba,  Ornithologie," 
1839-40  (q.v.).  As  printed  in  the  present  book,  the  list  presents  a  great  number 
of  changes  from  the  original, — most  of  the  changes  being  alterations  in  spelling, 
two  of  them  being  changes  of  genera,  but  probably  all  of  them  being  due  to 
errors  in  copying.  The  authorship  is  in  doubt,  but,  presumably,  the  entire 
work  was  arranged  by  the  publishers.  In  the  latter  part  of  the  text  the  announce- 
ment is  made  of  the  present  issue  of  an  album  consisting  of  the  ornithological 
plates  from  the  "Histoire,"  together  with  an  additional  plate  of  eggs  (=pl. 
XXXII)  drawn  from  specimens  received  by  Baron  Delessert  from  Jose"  Ramon 
de  la  Paz  Morejon.  The  album  in  which  this  letterpress  is  bound  contains 
plates  of  both  mammals  and  birds,  prefaced  by  the  same  list  of  contents  as  in 
the  original  "Histoire."  The  title-page  is  reprinted  with  certain  alterations; 
the  vignette  is  redrawn;  the  word,  'Atlas,'  is  in  plain,  instead  of  ornamental, 
type;  a  line  of  print  is  withdrawn  from  above  the  last  line  on  the  page,  and  the 
address  of  the  publisher  is  given  as  "Rue  Hautefeuille  21"  instead  of  "23," 
while  general  typographical  changes  are  apparent  throughout.  The  plates 
appear  to  be  from  the  same  copperplates  except  that  the  first  of  both  mammals 
and  birds  bears  the  signature,  "N  R6mond  imp.  r.  Vieille-Estrapade,  15,  Paris." 
instead  of  "Bougeard  imp."  as  on  the  originals  and  on  all  the  remainder  in  the 
present  issue.  The  coloration  of  the  plates  presents  numerous  variations  from 
that  of  the  examples  of  the  original  at  hand.

An  early  edition  of  a  work  first  published  in  1867.  It  consists  of  technical  des- 
criptions and  classification  taken  from  Baird  ("Pacific  Railroad  Surveys," 
Vol.  IX,  1858),  and  general  discussions  of  the  species  largely  extracted  from 
Wilson,  Nuttall  and  Audubon,  with  some  original  matter.  William  Couper 
supplied  notes  on  the  occurrence  and  distribution  of  certain  species  in  Quebec, 
on  pp.  80-81,  368-372,  396,  477-478  and  571-573,  as  in  the  first  edition  (Cf. 
Coues.).  An  appendix,  not  in  the  original  edition,  is  added  on  pp.  575-578  to 
include  a  few  species  recorded  by  various  authors  but  not  mentioned  in  the 
body  of  the  work.  The  illustrations  are  from  various  sources.  Those  of  the 
eggs  were  prepared  by  M.  M.  Tidd  and  Nathan  Brown;  the  frontispiece  and 
most  of  the  unnumbered  plates  (one  of  which  is  an  uncolored  copy  of  the 
frontispiece)  are  copied  from  Audubon.  The  book  passed  through  a  number 
of  editions  under  various  titles,  at  least  three  of  which  were  issued  in  1883.

A  handbook  of  non-technical  information  relative  to  British  birds,  considered 
by  some  reviewers  to  be  the  best  work  of  its  kind  ever  published  on  British 
birds.  It  forms,  in  effect,  a  condensed  "Yarrell,"  of  the  fourth  edition  of  which 
(1871-85,  q.v.)  Saunders  was  part  editor.  Each  of  367  species  is  briefly  de- 
scribed and  its  distribution,  breeding  habits  and  claims  for  recognition  as  British 
are  discussed  in  accounts  restricted  to  two  pages.  Most  of  the  species  are 
figured  by  woodcuts  taken  largely  from  the  drawings  by  E.  Neale  in  YarrelTs 
"History  of  British  Birds,"  1837-43  (q.v.),  with  the  addition  of  some  new  ones 
by  G.  E.  Lodge  and  J.  G.  Keulemans.  The  preface  contains  the  diagnostic 
characters  of  the  various  genera  arranged  in  the  order  of  classification  adopted 
in  the  general  text.  An  appendix  supplies  additional  notes  on  certain  species 
from  information  secured,  apparently,  after  the  work  was  in  press.  The 
present  copy  is  from  the  library,  and  contains  the  bookplate  of,  J.  Lewis  Bon- 
hote,  whose  manuscript  notes  are  pencilled  through  the  volume.  There  is 
added,  also,  a  fragment  of  a  letter,  apparently  from  Mrs.  Leverton  of  Truro, 
regarding  a  certain  specimen  mentioned  in  the  text  (Bartram's  Sandpiper). 
A  second  edition  (q.v.)  was  published  in  1899.

Of  the  same  general  plan  as  the  first  edition,  1889  (q.v.),  the  present  work  has 
been  largely  rewritten  to  bring  the  subject  matter  to  date,  although  still,  with 
a  single  exception,  keeping  to  the  limits  of  two  pages  for  each  species.  Numerous 
species  are  added,  bringing  the  total  to  384,  with  a  consequent  increase  in  the 
number  of  woodcuts.

A  descriptive  catalogue  of  the  birds  of  the  Department  of  Tuscany,  Italy.  Full 
descriptions  of  the  species,  genera  and  higher  groups  are  given,  with  some 
synonymy,  vernacular  nomenclature  in  local  and  foreign  terms,  dates  of  oc- 
currence, notes  on  life-history,  etc.  Several  species  are  described  as  new,  but 
the  author's  "nobis"  usually  denotes  simply  a  change  in  generic  position  of  the 
species.  Volume  III  contains  (pp.  237-296)  seven  indices,  to  the  Latin,  Italian, 
French,  English  and  German  names,  general  subject  matter,  and  errata,  res- 
pectively; pp.  183-236  contain  the  appendices  to  Vols.  I  and  II.  The  sepa- 
rately paged  synoptic  tables  form  a  part  of  Vol.  Ill,  according  to  the  signatures, 
although  Engelmann,  who  lists  4  vols.  of  the  work,  may  have  considered  them 
as  forming  a  separate  volume.

A  work  on  the  birds  of  Italy  similar  to,  and  based  on,  the  author's  "Ornitologia

cussed in  the  earlier  work,  but  numbers  of  the  descriptions  are  copied  and  the 
text-figures  are  the  same  (with  the  omission  of  one).  An  index  is  given  to 
each  volume  and  Vol.  II  contains  a  general  index  to  the  three  volumes.  The 
appendices,  vernacular  indices  (except  the  Italian  which  is  embodied  in  the 
general  index)  and  synoptic  tables  are  omitted.  A  short  preface  is  given  by 
Adolfo  Savi,  the  son  of  the  author,  since  the  work  was  published  after  the

caise  [1798-1801],"  etc.,  published  in  9  vols.  (text)  and  10  vols.  (Atlas)  from 
1809-30.  The  present  portion  appeared  originally  in  the  first  livraison  (on 
pp.  63-114)  in  1809,  according  to  a  footnote  on  p.  3  of  Savigny 's  "Observations 
sur  le  Systeme  des  Oiseaux  de  1'Egypte  et  de  la  Syrie,"  1811  (q.v.)-  The 
"Observations"  and  the  present  work  are  bound  in  one  volume  in  the  copy 
at  hand.  The  present  title  embraces  the  systematic  arrangement  of  some 
Egyptian  and  Syrian  birds  (27  species  of  birds  of  prey),  with  diagnoses  of 
species  and  groups,  and  extensive  synonymy.  The  plates  are  much  more 
comprehensive  than  the  text  and  of  most  of  them  no  mention  is  made  by 
Savigny,  although  they  were  destined  for  inclusion  in  portions  of  the  work 
which  he  was  unable  to  complete  through  failure  of  his  eyesight.  The  descrip- 
tion of  the  species  figured  on  the  plates  was  afterwards  undertaken  by  Audoin, 
who,  in  1826,  published  his  "Explication  Sommaire  des  Planches  d'Oiseaux  de 
1'figypte  et  de  la  Syrie"  (q.v.)  in  Part  4  of  Vol.  I  of  the  Hist.  Nat.  of  the 
"Description  de  1'Egypte."

A  lengthy  dissertation  in  justification  of  the  author's  views  expressed  in  his 
"Systeme  des  Oiseaux  de  1'figypte  et  de  la  Syrie,"  1810  (q.v.).  Although 
marked  as  a  supplement  to  the  "Description  de  1'figypte,"  this  contribution 
does  not  appear  to  form  an  integral  part  of  that  extensive  work  and  is  not 
included  in  the  collation  of  it  given  by  the  British  Museum  (Natural  History) 
nor  in  Sherborn's  anaylsis  of  the  dates  of  publication  of  the  natural  history 
portions  of  the  work  (in  Proc.  Zool.  Soc.  Lond.,  1897,  p.  285).  It  is  not  men- 
tioned in  "A  Bibliographic  Account  and  Collation  of  La  Description  de 
1'figypte"  (printed  for,  but  marked  as  not  published  by,  the  London  Institu- 
tion in  1838)  nor  can  I  find  it  in  a  copy  of  the  complete  work  in  the  John 
Crerar  Library,  Chicago.  The  preface  is  dated  December  5,  1810  but  the 
imprint  at  the  bottom  of  p.  16  is  1811.  With  the  present  copy  is  bound  the 
reprint  of  the  "Systeme  des  Oiseaux,"  collated  elsewhere.  If  the  latter  is 
also  distinct  from  the  complete  "Description  de  1'figypte"  it  may  have  been 
issued  with  the  present  paper  as  part  of  the  "Supplement,"  but  I  am  inclined 
to  think  otherwise.

A  general  review  of  the  birds  of  the  world  with  popular  descriptions  and  accounts 
of  the  habits  of  representative  species  of  the  various  groups.  Some  synonymy 
is  given  and  one  species  (Pipra  iris)  is  described  as  new.  The  earlier  plates  are 
passably  good  but  the  less  said  of  the  later  ones,  the  better.  The  work  was 
published  in  21  Lieferungen  of  6  pll.  each  with  accompanying  text.  The  first 
three  Lieferungen  appeared  in  1846,  (noted  by  Engelmann),  the  eighth  in  1851 
(probably  late  April  or  May;  see  below)  and  the  last  in  1853  (noted  by  Cams

1-7  were  published  by  Meyer  &  Zeller,  the  remainer  by  Hanke.  The  introduc-

These  wrappers  contain  a  prospectus  of  the  work,  dated  April  1851,  in  which 
seven  Lieferungen  (containing  42  plates)  are  said  to  have  been  published  to

tributes (pp.  244-255)  a  paper  on  avian  remains  in  the  kitchen-middens.  The 
remainder  of  the  volume  comprises  the  detailed  discussion  of  the  Anseriformes. 
The  work  is  profusely  illustrated  with  excellent  plates  figuring  most  of  the 
species  in  series  which  show  variations,  etc.

but  the  last  half  of  the  part  could  not  have  been  issued  before  September  1849 
since  on  p.  15  there  is  a  reference  to  a  specimen  taken  during  that  month  and 
year.  The  third  edition  of  the  A.O.U.  Check-List  of  North  American  Birds, 
under  Falco  mexicanus,  cites  the  date  as  1850,  but  Sherborn  (Index  Animalium, 
Sect.  2,  Pt.  i,  p.  CXIII,  1922)  gives  dates  for  the  whole  work  as  "1841,  1843, 
1851,"  thus  agreeing,  apparently  with  Cams  and  Engelmann.

An  index  (pp.  643-694),  a  short  bibliography  (pp.  695-699)  and  a  list  of  errata 
complete  the  volume.  The  plates  have  been  bound  in  two  volumes  with  the 
half-title  inserted  in  one  and  the  title  in  the  other.  The  figures  are  well-drawn 
and  pleasing.  The  work  was  originally  issued  in  45  parts  from  1854  to  1858 
under  the  title  of  "Fauna  van  Nederlands — Vogels,"  by  H.  S.  Schlegel  and  J.  H. 
Herklots,  being  intended  as  part  of  a  comprehensive  work  on  the  fauna  of  the 
country.  The  plan  was  discontinued  before  more  than  the  birds  were  treated, 
and  the  original  publisher,  Trap,  sold  the  entire  edition  to  van  Goor  who  issued 
it  (according  to  Cams  and  Engelmann)  in  1859  with  a  new  title-page  (as  above) 
and  with  a  preface  by  Schlegel  dated  December  24,  1858.  The  original  Pts. 
1-7  are  acknowledged  in  the  Journ.  fur  Orn.  for  July  1855;  8-46,  I.e.  for  March 
1860;  entire  work  reviewed,  I.e.  for  Sept.  1862.  This  work  is  not  to  be  con- 
fused with  the  author's  ornithological  volume,  also  dated  1860,  of  the  "Natuur- 
lijke Historie  van  Nederland,"  (q.v.).

An  account  of  the  Touracos  (fam.  Musophagidae).  The  general  text,  in  Dutch, 
contains  a  description  of  each  species  with  distribution,  synonymy  and  other 
notes.  The  synopsis  contains  Latin  diagnoses  of  the  species.  The  plates  are 
excellent  and  suggest  the  work  of  Wolf.  I  am  uncertain  as  to  the  exact  distribu- 
tion of  authorship  between  Schlegel  and  Westermann.

A  rather  general  account  of  the  birds  of  Holland;  illustrated  by  a  series  of  excellent 
plates  depicting  heads,  feet,  etc.,  and  a  second  series  (of  inferior  quality)  illus- 
trating various  habitats  and  their  occupants.  The  volume  forms  part  of  a  more 
comprehensive  series  on  the  natural  history  of  Holland.  The  date  of  publica- 
tion is  not  unquestioned.  Carus  and  Engelmann  list  only  2  parts  (pp.  "VI, 
XXXII,  128"),  while  Cabanis  (Journal  fur  Orn.,  April  1860)  acknowledges 
the  receipt  of  i  part;  Taschenberg  does  not  record  the  remainder  of  the  volume, 
but,  instead,  catalogues  a  second  edition  of  the  whole  natural  history  under 
dates  of  1867-69,  published  by  G.  L.  Funke,  Amsterdam.  The  John  Crerar 
Library,  Chicago,  has  a  copy  of  the  volume  on  birds,  published  by  Funke  in 
1868,  which  is  evidently  of  this  second  edition.  Pagination  and  plates  are  as  in 
the  first  edition.  I  can  find  no  record  of  the  concluding  portions  of  the  first 
edition  of  the  birds,  but  Snouckaert  van  Schauburg  (Avifauna  Neerlandica, 
1908,  q.v.)  cites  all  portions  of  the  volume  as  of  1860,  which  is  probably  correct. 
The  Cat.  Libr.  Brit.  Mus.  (Nat.  Hist.)  cites  a  "Tweede  Druck"  (which  must 
be  a  third  edition,  instead)  published  in  Haarlem  in  1878.  There  is  also  "De 
Vogels  van  Nederland"  (q.v.)  dated,  likewise,  1860,  but  probably  published 
the  year  before.

A  discussion  of  all  the  known  species  of  the  tanagers  belonging  to  the  genus 
Calliste  as  then  understood.  Synonymy,  Latin  diagnoses  and  an  account  of 
variations,  relationships,  habits,  etc.,  are  given  for  each  species,  all  but  four 
of  which  are  figured  on  excellent  plates.  The  work  was  published  in  four 
parts,  of  the  extent  and  dates  of  which  I  am  uncertain.  The  copy  at  hand 
contains  four  original  wrappers,  but  they  are  all  alike,  undated  and  with  the 
part-number  inserted  by  hand.  A  prospectus  of  the  work  announces  the 
publication  at  short  intervals  of  four  parts,  each  to  contain  about  twelve 
plates  and  the  corresponding  letterpress.  The  preface  is  dated  December  i, 
1857  although  Carus  and  Engelmann  give  1858.  There  is  a  break  suggested 
between  pp.  64  and  84  where  signature  'F'  contains  10  11.  instead  of  the  ordin- 
ary 8  11.  Sclater  himself,  in  the  Ibis,  1876,  p.  407,  says  he  published  the  work 
in  1858,  but  this  may  refer  only  to  the  last  part;  in  the  Ibis,  1863,  p.  450  he 
says  the  work  was  completed  in  December  1857,  but  this  may  refer  only  to  the 
manuscript.  Additions  to  the  monograph  were  published  by  Sclater  in  the 
Ibis  for  1863,  pp.  450-452.

A  catalogue  of  the  author's  collection  of  some  4100  specimens  of  American  birds, 
representing  2169  species  and  containing  386  type-specimens.  Each  specimen 
is  listed  and  the  principal  synonyms  of  each  species  are  given.  A  number  of 
new  species  are  described.  There  is  a  little  doubt  as  to  the  date  or  dates  of 
publication.  There  are  24  signatures,  each  of  which,  except  the  introductory 
one,  bears  its  date  of  printing,  beginning  with  May  i,  1861  and  closing  with 
May  1 6,  1862,  while  the  title-page  is  dated,  simply,  1862.  Cabanis,  in  the 
Journal  fur  Ornithologie  acknowledges  the  receipt  of  various  installments  as 
follows.  Signs.  I  and  II  in  Journ.  fur  Orn.  for  May,  1861 ;  III- VIII,  Sept.  1861 ; 
IX-X  and  XI-XII,  Jan.  1862;  XHI-XVI,  March  1862;  and  XVH-XXIII  with 
introductory  matter,  Sept.  1862.  Coues  says,  "Some  copies  of  the  sheets  were 
distributed  as  printed."  The  author,  as  reviewer  for  the  Ibis,  in  the  Ibis  for 
1862,  p.  379,  calls  the  work  a  "lately  completed  'Catalogue'  "  and  does  not 
give  a  date.  Trubner  and  Co.,  on  the  wrapper  of  the  Ibis  for  July  and  October, 
1862,  advise  that  "Only  100  copies  of  the  perfect  work  have  been  prepared." 
The  evidence  seems  to  point  to  the  issue  of  signs.  I-XII  (pp.  1-192)  at  various 
dates  in  1861,  approaching  the  dates  of  printing,  and  of  the  remainder  of  the 
volume  at  various  periods  in  1862.  Copies  without  plates  are  also  in  existence.

Descriptions,  figures  and  critical  notes,  with  synonymies,  distribution  and  some 
biographical  account,  of  104  species  of  Neotropical  birds.  At  the  end  of  many 
of  the  articles  there  is  given  a  summary  of  the  congeneric  species  in  America. 
The  hand-colored  plates  are  excellent.  The  work  was  planned  originally,  as 
may  be  suggested  by  the  title,  to  include  new  and  interesting  birds  from  the 
whole  of  the  world,  but  was  later  restricted  to  America  south  of  the  United 
States.  The  book  was  issued  in  thirteen  parts,  the  dates  of  which  are  given 
by  Coues  (2nd  Inst.,  p.  286).  These  dates  do  not  agree,  always,  with  those 
printed  at  the  close  of  each  article.  As  given  by  Coues,  they  are  as  follows

before  undertaking  the  work)  but  consequent  errors  are  not  numerous.  The 
contour  map  (after  Rydberg  ?)  is  said  by  Henderson  (Auk,  XXIX,  p.  429,

in  the  "Museum  Turrianum."  Numerous  new  species  and  genera  are  des- 
cribed. The  last  volume  contains,  among  other  matter,  a  sort  of  supplement 
to  the  first  volume,  with  discussions  of  some  species  not  included  in  the  original 
list.  Falco  pannonicus  is  new,  being,  apparently,  the  earliest  name  for  the 
bird  recently  known  as  Falco  cherrug.

The  account  of  an  overland  journey  through  Siberia  in  1877  on  ornithological  and 
ethnological  research.  Notes  on  the  bird  life  of  the  region  are  thoroughly  inter- 
spersed with  the  narrative  and  a  resume  of  the  ornithological  results  of  the 
expedition  is  given  in  Chapter  XXV,  pp.  288-298.  The  book  forms  a  companion 
volume  to  the  author's  earlier  "Siberia  in  Europe,"  1880  (q.v.). 

The  two  volumes  were  combined,  revised  and  reissued  in  1901  as  "The  Birds 
of  Siberia."

A  debatable  work  on  the  life-histories,  habits,  breeding,  distribution,  variation  and 
classification  of  British  birds.  A  considerable  amount  of  first-hand  information 
is  given  from  field  observations,  and  the  work  is  valuable  for  these,  but  there 
are  many  statements  which  have  been  questioned  by  critics.  The  classification 
adopted  by  the  author  follows  a  principle  of  "auctorum  plurimorum"  in  which 
priority  is  disregarded  and  that  name  used  which  has  a  majority  of  previous 
authors  behind  it.  There  are  numerous  caustic  remarks,  in  criticism  of  anteced- 
ent and  contemporary  authors,  which  might  have  been  made  in  more  pleasant 
style.  Detailed  introductions  are  given  in  the  three  volumes  of  text;  that  one 
in  the  second  volume,  "On  the  Protective  Colour  of  Eggs,"  was  written  by 
Charles  Dixon.  The  work  appeared  in  six  parts,  two  to  each  of  the  first  three 
volumes.  Part  I  is  usually  cited  as  of  1883,  but  it  is  reviewed  under  date  of  1882 
in  the  Ibis  for  January  1883  (p.  114).  Part  II  appeared  in  1883;  III  (to  p.  288, 
Vol.  II)  in  1883;  IV  in  July  1884;  V  and  VI  in  1885,  including  the  list  of  plates 
bound  (with  all  the  plates)  in  a  separate  volume.  The  plates,  although  the  title- 
page  to  their  volume  is  dated  1885,  appeared  with  the  various  parts  from  1882- 
1885.  A  second  edition  of  the  entire  work  appeared  in  1896  with  plates  printed 
in  Paris,  and  these  plates,  with  occasional  notes  added,  were  reissued  in  1904.

A  monograph  (in  spite  of  the  author's  disclaimer  on  p.  5.)  of  the  shore  birds  of  the 
world,  usually  considered  as  representing  several  distinct  families  but  united  by 
the  author  into  a  single  family.  The  prefatory  matter  (Chapters  I  to  VIII,  pp. 
1-65)  is  devoted  to  general  remarks  on  classification,  evolution,  differentiation 
of  species,  glacial  epochs,  migration,  "The  Paradise  of  the  Charadriidae,"  zoo- 
logical regions  and  subspecific  forms.  The  main  body  of  the  text  discusses  the 
various  species  of  shore  birds  in  order,  with  considerable  detail.  The 'work  met

with  a  varied  reception  owing  to  the  debatable  character  of  many  of  the  author's 
views  on  classification,  but  it  is,  nevertheless,  a  valuable  repository  of  informa- 
tion on  the  subject.  There  is  no  date  on  the  title-page  but  the  back  of  the  cover 
bears  the  date  1888.  Sharpe,  in  Seebohm's  "Coloured  Figures  of  the  Eggs  of 
British  Birds,"  1896  (q.v.),  p.  X,  gives  the  date  of  publication  as  1887  on  the 
basis  of  a  copy  of  the  work  in  his  possession  bearing  the  inscription  "Christmas, 
1887."  The  work  is  based  on  the  collections  of  J.  E.  Harting,  Shelley,  and  Swin- 
hoe,  together  with  Harting's  manuscript  notes  (which  were  gathered  with  the 
intention  of  publishing  a  monograph  of  the  shore  birds)  to  which  Seebohrn 
acknowledges  free  access.  The  hand-colored  plates  are  excellent.

An  attempt  to  collect  the  available  information  respecting  Japanese  ornithology 
into  a  single  volume.  The  work  shows  extreme  carelessness  in  preparation  and 
much  of  the  information  it  presents  is  still  half -concealed,  owing  to  the  manner 
of  presentation.  Synonyms  are  rarely  quoted  and  then  only  in  the  general 
text;  the  descriptions  of  the  various  species  are  too  brief  to  be  of  much  service; 
new  names  are  used  without  designation  as  such  and  sometimes  without  diag- 
nostic characters;  distribution  is  often  erroneously  given;  species  of  earlier 
authors  are  occasionally  dismissed  summarily,  without  adequate  reason.  In 
the  text  the  author  takes  occasion  to  treat  of  the  general  classification  of  birds, 
whether  Japanese  or  not,  and  defines  all  subclasses,  orders  and  suborders  of  the 
class  Aves,  This  discussion  presents  some  modifications  of  the  author's  views 
on  the  same  subject  which  he  expressed  in  his  work  of  a  few  months'  earlier 
date,  the  "Classification  of  Birds,"  1890  (q.v.).  An  annotated  bibliography  is 
given  in  the  early  part  of  the  volume.  A  critical  review  of  the  work  was  given 
by  Stejneger  in  the  Auk  for  January,  1891,  pp.  99-101.

i  vol.  royal  8vo,  pp.  I-XI+i,  i-53-   London. 

A  treatise  on  the  taxonomy  of  the  higher  groups  of  birds.  Fourteen  orders  and 
thirty-six  suborders  are  diagnosed  and  the  definitive  characters  analyzed  for 
all  of  the  suborders,  in  a  tabular  form  that  is  easily  read.  Two  arrangements  of 
the  orders  into  subclasses  are  given, — one  with  six  subclasses,  the  other  with  five; 
the  former  is  used  in  the  body  of  the  work.  The  author  later  modified  his  views 
in  his  "The  Birds  of  the  Japanese  Empire,"  1890  (q.v.),  and  in  a  "Supplement," 
1895,  to  the  present  work.  However  the  proposed  scheme  of  classification  may 
be  criticised,  considerable  information  is  presented  in  the  work.

Short  accounts  of  the  breeding  habits  and  the  occurrence  in  the  British  Islands

condensed  reproduction  of,  that  of  the  author's  larger,  "History  of  British 
Birds,"  1882-85  (q-v.).  The  plates,  in  chromo-lithograph,  represent  typical 
examples  of  the  eggs  of  the  various  species  and  are  very  good.  A  memoir  of 
Seebohm,  by  Sharpe  who  edited  the  whole  work,  is  included,  fittingly,  in  the 
volume.

A  thorough  monograph  of  a  limited  section  of  the  family  Turdidae,  comprising 
the  genera  GeociMa,  Turdus,  Merula  and  Mimocichla  as  recognized  by  the 
authors  (a  group  usually  further  divided  by  most  authors).  Synonymy  and  a 
brief  Latin  diagnosis  of  each  species  are  followed  by  detailed  notes.  Several 
new  species  are  described.  The  hand-colored  plates  by  Keulemans  are  ex- 
cellent. Seebohm  had  most  of  the  plates  prepared  but,  at  his  death,  left  his 
manuscript  unfinished.  Sharpe  undertook  to  edit  and  complete  the  work, 
but  found  that  the  manuscript  in  hand  covered  only  the  genus  GeocicUa, 
leaving  the  much  greater  portion  still  to  be  written;  this  was  done  entirely 
by  Sharpe.  Seebohm's  text  occupies  pp.  1-91,  excluding  certain  species  of 
GeociMa,  in  those  pages  which  were  written  by  Sharpe.  The  remainder  of  the 
work  is  Sharpe's,  whose  initials  appear  at  the  foot  of  each  article  contributed 
by  him.  The  work  was  issued  in  13  parts,  as  follows.  Part  I,  pp.  1-40,  pll.

A  series  of  life-sized,  colored  plates  of  British  birds.  There  are  numerous  editions 
of  the  work.  According  to  Engelmann,  Coues,  Mullens  and  Swann  and  the 
Catalogue  of  the  Library  of  the  British  Museum  (Natural  History),  Vol.  I, 
containing  the  land  birds,  was  issued  in  8  parts;  Lizars,  in  the  Advertising  pages 
of  the  early  volumes  of  Jardine's  "Naturalist's  Library,"  1833-43  (q.v.)  gives 
the  number  of  parts  as  7,  one  appearing  every  six  months  and  each  containing 
12  pll.  Part  II,  containing  the  water  birds,  was  issued  in  similar  manner  in 
ii  parts  with  (according  to  Lizars)  135  plates.  Engelmann  cites  228  plates 
in  both  volumes.  The  original  edition  began  in  1821  and  was  completed  in 
1834.  Volume  II,  as  collated  above,  belongs  to  this  original  set,  and  has  the

paper  watermarked  "1826."  Volume  I,  as  collated  above,  has  the  paper  water- 
marked "1839"  and  seems  to  belong  to  a  later  edition  which  I  am  unable  to 
trace.  The  engraved  titles  of  both  volumes  are  uncolored.  Mullens  and  Swann 
note  the  issue,  with  the  original  plates,  of  a  temporary,  explanatory  letterpress 
which  is  very  rare.  The  full  text  appeared  in  1825-33  under  the  title  of,  "Illus- 
trations of  British  Ornithology"  (q.v.,  1833).  The  original  cover-title  for  the 
plates  was  also  (according  to  Lizars)  "Illustrations  of  British  Ornithology," 
later  altered  to  that  quoted  above.  In  the  preface  to  Vol.  I  of  the  text,  the 
author  apologizes  for  a  "slight  want  of  regularity  in  the  numbering  of  the 
plates."!

A  manual  of  British  ornithology,  containing  accounts  of  the  habits  of  the  various 
species  of  birds,  with  their  synonymy,  and  with  descriptions  of  the  genera  and 
higher  groups.  Reference  is  made  to  the  colored  and  other  plates  in  the 
author's  "Plates  to  Selby's  Illustrations,"  etc.,  (1821)-  1834  (-1839  ?)  (q.v.). 
Although  issued  partly  in  conaection  with  the  volume  of  plates,  under  the  same 
title  (at  the  time  of  issue),  text  and  plates  were  purchasable  separately  and  the 
publishers  (in  the  advertising  pages  of  Vol.  I  of  Jardine's  "Naturalist's  Library," 
1833-43  (q.v.),  express  the  hope,  also  voiced  by  the  author  in  his  preface  to  the 
present  work,  that  the  text  will  constitute  an  independent  work  of  reference. 
Vol.  I  was  issued  originally  in  1825,  with  nomenclature  according  to  Temminck. 
Vol.  II  was  prepared  according  to  the  arrangement  proposed  by  Vigors  and  to 
make  the  two  volumes  uniform,  Selby  revised  Vol.  I  and  reissued  it  in  altered 
form  with  the  first  and  only  edition  of  Vol.  II.  The  set,  as  collated  above,  con-

A  systematic  list  of  the  genera  and  subgenera  of  birds,  indicating  the  type  species 
of  each  and  its  distribution.  Pp.  50-70  contain  the  names  of  these  type  species 
arranged  in  five  lists,  according  to  distribution,  as  procurable  in  "Britain  and 
Europe,"  "America  and  its  dependencies,"  "Africa,"  "Asia  and  its  islands" 
and  "Australia  and  isles  of  the  Pacific."  The  catalogue  contains  the  new 
generic  names,  Haliastur,  Mergellus  and  Poliocephalus.  Furthermore,  the 
work  is  important  because  of  the  fixation  of  the  types  of  a  number  of  genera 
not  mentioned  by  Gray  in  his  first  edition  of  "A  list  of  the  Genera  of  Birds," 
1840  (q.v.).  The  actual  date  of  publication  of  the  present  work  is  uncertain, 
but  if  it  should  prove  to  antedate  Gray's  volume,  the  modern  definitions  of 
a  number  of  genera  would  have  to  be  altered.  Both  works  were  independent

of  each  other  and  neither  is  cited  by  the  other,  although  the  second  edition  of 
Gray  (1841,  q.v.)  quotes  Selby  in  several  instances.  It  is  possible  that  the 
current  Report  of  the  Natural  History  Society  of  Northumberland,  Durham 
and  Newcastle-upon-Tyne  for  which  organization  the  present  volume  was 
prepared)  might  throw  some  light  on  the  date  of  publication,  but  this  periodical 
is  inaccessible  to  me.  This  work  of  Selby's  is  quite  rare.

A  reprint  of  Vol.  VI,  Ornithological  Series  (ist  ed.),  of  Jardine's  "The  Naturalist's 
Library,"  1833-43  (q.v.),  with  some  changes.  To  the  memoir  of  Bewick  have 
been  added  additional  notes  on  the  same  topic  (pp.  51-72),  and  at  the  close  of 
the  volume  (pp.  189-219)  is  a  memoir  of  Daubenton,  written  by  Cuvier.  This 
memoir  of  Daubenton  is  paged  continuously  with  the  first  edition  of  the  present 
volume,  but  discontinuously  with  the  edition  in  hand,  and  is  inscribed  "(To  be 
placed  at  the  end  of  the  Parrot  Volume.)"  as  though  it  had  been  issued  pri- 
marily with  some  later  volume  of  the  first  edition  (where  however  I  am  unable 
to  place  it).  The  plates  differ  from  those  of  the  first  edition  in  coloration  and  in 
the  addition  of  the  habitats  to  the  inscriptions.  In  the  copy  at  hand,  the 
illuminated  title-page  bears  the  imprint  of  Lizars.

pagination,  and  the  dates  of  these  numbers  of  the  Proceedings  and  of  the 
parts  of  the  present  work  are  very  close,  requiring  further  investigation  to 
determine  the  priority  of  reference.  The  species  in  question  are  Ceyx  wattacii, 
Cittura  sanghirensis,  Pelargopsis  gouldi,  P.  floresiana  and  P.  burmanica.

A  detailed  monograph  of  all  the  known  species  of  swallows,  with  fine,  hand-colored 
plates  by  the  junior  author.  The  introductory  chapters  contain  a  review  of  the 
genera,  a  discussion  of  the  geographical  distribution  of  the  various  members  of 
the  family,  and  a  bibliography,  with  a  short  note  on  the  mythical  hibernation 
of  the  birds  in  question.  An  appendix  to  each  genus,  contains  supplementary 
remarks  on  the  various  species,  added  after  the  publication  of  the  original 
accounts  in  earlier  numbers  of  the  work.  The  letterpress  for  each  species  is 
paged  separately  and  the  plates  are  unnumbered,  but  the  tables  of  contents 
for  the  two  volumes  give  a  running  number  to  pages  and  plates,  continuous 
through  both  volumes.  The  work  was  issued  in  20  parts  (including  some

A  report  by  Sharpe  on  the  birds  collected  by  Dr.  Stoliczka  on  the  Second  Yark- 
and Mission  into  central  Asia,  with  extracts  from  Stoliczka's  notebook  and 
from  that  of  his  companion,  Colonel  Biddulph,  as  well  as  from  the  published 
notes  of  Dr.  Henderson  (of  the  First  Yarkand  Mission)  and  Dr.  Scully.  The 
work  thus  includes  the  results  of  both  expeditions  to  Yarkand.  Allan  Hume 
prepared  an  earlier  report  on  the  same  material  but  his  manuscript  was  stolen 
and  destroyed.  An  appendix  to  the  present  book  (pp.  149-152)  contains  descrip- 
tions of  six  species  of  birds  not  found  in  Yarkand,  thus  serving  as  an  excuse  to 
present  plates  XVI-XXIV,  as  explained  in  the  text.  The  present  volume  forms 
Part  5  of  the  complete  report  which  was  published  in  14  parts  during  1878-91.

An  excellent  monograph  of  all  the  known  species  of  these  families  of  birds,  illus- 
trated by  life-sized,  hand-colored  plates  of  many  of  them.  These  plates  in  some 
cases  are  printed  from  the  stones  used  by  Gould  and  Sharpe  in  the  "Birds  of 
New  Guinea,"  1875-88  (q.v.);  some  are  redrawn  and  others  are  entirely  new. 
In  the  appendix  (Vol.  I,  pp.  XXI-XL,  the  author  gives  a  general  review  of  the 
species,  with  the  additions  necessary  to  bring  the  earlier  parts  up  to  date.  In 
the  introduction,  pp.  V-XIX,  are  given  tables  for  the  determination  of  the 
various  groups  from  families  to  species.  The  work  appeared  in  8  parts  as 
collated  below.  The  present  set  is  still  bound  in  the  original  board  covers  which 
contain  a  large  vignette  of  Ptilorhis  victoriae,  the  title  (arranged  slightly  different-

A  compact  manual  of  British  ornithology  containing  synonymies  and  detailed 
accounts  of  the  plumages,  distribution,  habits  and  nidification  of  the  numerous 
species  of  the  country.  The  work  was  much  criticized  at  the  time  of  its  pub- 
lication on  account  of  the  author's  strict  adherence  to  certain  v^ws  on  nomen- 
clature which  had  not  received  universal  approbation  in  England.  The  plates 
are  of  poor  quality.  Vol.  I  first  appeared  in  "Allen's  Naturalists'  Library"  in 
1894;  Vol.  II,  in  1895;  Vol.  Ill,  1896  in  both  editions,  accompanied  by  reprints 
of  Vols.  I  and  II  of  the  second  (present)  issue;  and  Vol.  IV,  1897  in  both  edi- 
tions. The  pagination  of  both  sets  appears  to  be  the  same  except  for  the  intro- 
ductory matter  in  Vol.  II  (  =  pp.  I-XVIII+2  pp.  in  ed.  I),  but  I  am  unaware

A  popular  volume  in  which  have  been  collected  notes  on  the  peculiarities  and 
habits  of  a  very  large  number  of  the  birds  of  the  world,  which  are  especially 
interesting  for  one  reason  or  another.  The  book  is  composed  of  matter  used 
by  the  author  in  many  of  his  lectures.  It  is  well  arranged  according  to  subjects,

lently  well  adapted  for  juvenile  instruction  as  well  as  for  the  information  of 
older  readers.  The  original  edition  was  published  in  London  in  1898;  the 
present  one,  printed  in  Great  Britain  but  published  in  New  York  was  probably 
contemporaneous,  although  I  can  find  no  record  of  the  date.

Prepared  on  much  the  same  plan  as  George  Robert  Gray's  "Hand-list  of  Genera 
and  Species  of  Birds,"  1869-71  (q.v.),  with  the  subject  matter  brought  up  to 
date  and  with  page-references  to  the  volumes  of  the  British  Museum  "Cata- 
logue of  the  Birds,"  1874-98  (q.v.).  The  forms  treated  are  summarized  approx- 
imately as  comprising  2810  genera  and  18,939  species.  The  volumes  are  com- 
posed as  follows.  Vol.  I,  Saururae,  Palaeognathae  and  Neognathae, — Galli- 
formes  to  Strigiformes;  II,  Psittaciformes  to  Pitiformes;  III,  Eurylaemiformes 
to  Passeriformes,  Acromyodi,  Pycnonotidae;  Vol.  IV,  Timeliidae  to  Certhiidae; 
Vol.  V,  Zosteropidae  to  Streperidae.  Vol.  II  contains  an  index  to  Vols.  I  and 
II;  the  remaining  volumes  each  contain  an  index  of  their  own  contents.  A 
"General  Index"  (q.v.)  was  prepared  by  Ogilvie-Grant  and  published  in  1912. 
The  dates  of  the  present  volumes  are  not  all  recorded.  Vol.  I  was  issued  in 
November,  1899  (rev.  in  Ibis,  Jan.,  1900) ;  the  preface  to  Vol.  n  is  dated  June 
ii,  1900;  that  of  Vol.  HI,  July  10,  1901;  Vol.  VI  appeared  in  September,  1903 
(rev.  Ibis,  Jan.  1904);  the  preface  to  Vol.  V  is  dated  Aug.  24,  1909. 

The  discussion  of  the  Palamedeiformes  was  omitted,  inadvertently,  from 
Vol.  I,  but  was  supplied  with  Vol.  II  on  an  insert-slip  intended  to  be  attached 
to  its  proper  place  in  the  preceding  number,  at  p.  205.

Most  of  the  ornithological  volumes  of  a  detailed  work  on  zoology,  begun  by  Shaw 
in  1800  and  completed  by  Stephens  after  Shaw's  death  following  the  publication 
of  Vol.  VIII  in  1812.  The  work  contains  descriptions,  synonyms  and  notes  on 
habits  of  the  various  species,  illustrated  by  excellent  engravings.  There  is  some 
discrepancy  in  the  dates  as  given  on  the  printed  and  engraved  title-pages.  Vol. 
VIII,  Pts.  I  and  II,  is  thus  dated  1811  and  1812;  an  editorial  advertisement  in 
Vol.  IX,  Pt.  I,  says  that  Vol.  VIII  was  published  in  1812  (agreeing  with  the 
engraved  title-page).  Vol.  XIII  is  similarly  dated  both  1825  and  1826;  I  do  not 
know  which  is  correct.  Vol.  VII,  also  relating  to  birds,  is  absent  from  the 
present  set. 

The  index  is  complete  for  all  branches  of  the  natural  history,  not  only  of  the 
birds.  The  references  are  not  segregated.  The  volume  containing  this  index  is 
separately  titled,  as  transcribed  above,  but  appears  to  form  the  second  part  of 
the  last  volume  on  birds  since  its  signatures  are  lettered  "V.  XIV.  P.  II."

An  excellent  monograph  of  an  interesting  family  of  birds,  with  descriptions  in 
Latin  and  English,  critical  notes,  and  discussions  of  habits,  etc.,  from  accounts 
by  many  different  observers.  A  total  of  138  species  of  the  group  are  recognized, 
of  which  all  but  one  are  figured  on  excellent,  hand-colored  plates.  Two  new 
genera  (one  from  Sharpe,  in  litt.)  and  ten  new  species  are  described,  and  one 
previously  described  form  is  given  a  name,  which,  in  a  later  part  of  the  work 
(p.  CV),  is  sunk  in  synonymy.  A  detailed  review  of  the  classification  of  the 
group,  with  additions  to  the  text,  is  given  on  pp.  XV-LII.  Tables  of  geo- 
graphical distribution  follow,  on  pp.  LIII-LVIII,  and  a  very  complete  bibliog- 
raphy is  presented,  on  pp.  LIX-CVIII.  There  is  no  pagination  or  numbering 
of  plates  except  in  the  lists  of  contents  and  of  plates  (pp.  V-VIII).  The  work 
appeared  in  12  parts  from  July  28,  1876  to  February  1880.  Text  and  plates  of 
the  various  species  were  not  always  issued  synchronously;  the  author  gives  a 
complete  collation  of  the  various  parts,  with  dates  of  publication,  on  pp. 
XIII-XIV.  The  original  title  of  the  work  was,  "A  Monograph  of  the  Cinny- 
ridae,"  etc.,  later  changed  to  the  wording  transcribed  above  which  represents 
the  final  title.

citing,  as  synonymy,  only  references  to  the  Catalogue  of  Birds  in  the  British 
Museum  and  publications  not  mentioned  therein,  with  further  citation  of  the 
best  published  illustration ;  the  original  description  is  omitted  unless  it  falls  into 
the  category  mentioned  and  even  the  authorities  for  the  nomenclature  are  not 
necessarily  included.  Many  new  genera  and  species  are  described.  The  illus- 
trations are  most  excellent.  The  work  was  published  in  8  parts,  divided  as 
collated  above  except  that  VoL  II  appeared  in  two  parts, — the  first  including 
pp.  1-160  and  the  second,  the  remainder.  Vol.  I  is  reviewed  in  the  Ibis  for 
July  1896;  EL  Pt  I,,  in  July  1900;  n  Pt  II,  in  Jan.  1901  (but  publ.  in  1900); 
HI  in  Oct.  1902;  IV  Pt  I,  in  the  Auk  for  April  1905;  IV  Pt  n,  in  July  1905; 
V  Pt  I,  in  the  Ibis  for  July  1906;  and  V  Pt  II,  in  Jan.  1913  (but  publ.,  probably, 
in  1912).  The  various  signatures  bear  varying  dates^which  are  evidently  those 
of  printing,  not  of  publication.  All  of  the  work  except  Vol.  V  Pt.  II  is  from  the 
pen  of  Shelley  who  died  before  the  work  was  complete.  The  final  part  was  pre-

Descriptions  of  Japanese  birds,  new  and  otherwise,  based  on  collections  of  Siebold 
and  other  visitors  to  Japan  whose  specimens  were  deposited  in  the  London 
Museum.  Some  of  the  new  species  were  based  on  Japanese  drawings,  without 
specimens  at  hand.  No  authorities  are  given  for  most  of  the  names  used,  nor 
is  there  any  indication  of  which  of  the  names  are  new.  The  ornithological  text 
is  entirely  by  Temminck  and  Schlegel  who,  alone,  are  to  be  quoted  in  this 
respect.  Plates  I-XX  are  by  Wolf;  the  remainder  are  unsigned.  The  work,  as 
collated,  consists  of  the  volume  on  birds  only;  the  entire  set  is  more  compre- 
hensive. The  ornithological  portion  was  issued  in  12  parts,  the  dates  and  con- 
tents of  which  are  given  by  Sherborn  and  Jentink  (Proc.  Zool.  Soc.  London,  1895, 
p.  149)  as  follows.  Part  I,  pp.  1-28,  1844;  II  and  III,  pp.  29-60,  1847;  IV-VIII, 
pp.  61-100,  1848;  IX-XI,  pp.  101-124,  1849;  XII,  pp.  125-142,  1850.  This  work 
and  Schlegel's  "Kritische  Ubersicht  der  Europaischen  Vogel,"  1844  (q.v.), 
appear  to  be  rivals  for  the  honor  of  constituting  the  earliest  work  in  which 
trinomial  nomenclature  is  used  in  the  modern  conception  for  geographic  races 
of  species.

A  very  important  contribution  to  the  study  of  the  hummingbirds.  The  work  is 
in  two  parts.  The  first  of  these  (pp.  1-244)  contains  synoptic  tables  to  genera, 
species  and  subpsecies  in  which  sufficient  detail  is  used  to  give  complete  diagno- 
ses of  each.  The  genera  are  arranged  in  46  groups  or  series  which  are  given  the 
name  of  their  most  characteristic  genus  and  are  described,  but  not  arranged, 
in  tabular  form.  Many  new  generic  and  subspecific  names  are  used.  The 
second  portion  of  the  volume  (pp.  245-407)  consists  of  a  catalogue  of  series, 
genera,  species  arid  subspecies,  with  synonymy,  distribution  and  ah  abundance 
of  footnotes.  The  remainder  of  the  work  contains  addenda,  corrigenda  and 
indices  to  series  and  genera.  The  work  is  much  more  comprehensive  than  the 
author's  "Catalogue  des  Especes  Actuellement  Connues  de  la  Famille  des 
Trochilides"  of  1897.

The  account  of  the  author's  observations  on  the  inhabitants  of  various  countries 
in  the  Orient,  and  of  the  natural  history  of  the  same  regions.  The  present 
volume  (II)  contains  Books  4  and  5,  the  former  devoted  to  anthropological 
observations,  the  latter  to  natural  history,  comprising  the  mammals,  birds  and 
plants.  The  ornithological  matter  is  contained  on  pp.  148-221  and  pll.  94-122. 
Numerous  species  are  described  and  figured  for  the  first  time,  but  under

fourth  volume  of  the  series.  The  work  was  published  in  12  livraisons,  dated 
(by  Carus  and  Engelmann)  1857-58.  In  the  introduction  to  the  "Incono- 
graphie,"  the  editor  (?)  of  that  work  announces  a  proposed  "Histoire  Naturelle

the  preceding  volumes,  but  this  work  seems  not  to  have  appeared.  This  pro- 
posed work  is  probably  that  mentioned  by  Carus  and  Engelmann  under  the 
"Iconographie"  in  an  ambiguous  reference  which  seems  to  apply  to  the  latter 
work  but  is  inconsistent  with  it  as  it  is  known  (Cf.  Coues,  Bull.  U.  S.  Geol.

about  120  pll.,  to  appear  in  30  parts,  issued  monthly.

Descriptions,  with  Latin  binomials,  of  new  or  otherwise  interesting  species  of 
birds  contained  in  the  museum  of  Gustavus  Carlson.  Many  of  the  figures  and 
descriptions  are  unrecognizable  but  the  collection  (more  or  less  injured  by 
moths)  came  eventually,  by  several  routes,  to  the  Rijksmuseum  of  Sweden 
where  it  was  studied  by  Carl.  J.  Sundevall.  In  the  first  part  of  a  "Kritisk 
Framstallning  of  Fogelarterna  uti  Aldre  Ornithologiska  Arbeten"  published 
in  the  Kon.  Vet.  Akad.  Handl.,  B.  2,  No.  3,  1857,  Sundevall  identified  most  of 
Sparnnan's  species,  listing  9  forms  as  dubious  and  7  as  entirely  unrecognizable 
due  to  the  imperfect  condition  of  the  skins  and  to  other  causes.  The  "Museum 
Carlsonianum"  is  a  very  rare  work  and  is  very  important  in  view  of  the  new 
species  contained  therein.

Descriptions  of  the  birds  secured  by  the  author  during  his  expedition  with  von 
Martius  to  Brazil  in  the  years  1817-1820;  with  colored  plates  of  the  new  species, 
of  which  there  are  a  great  number.  The  plates  are  not  always  recognizable  and 
are  said  to  vary  in  coloration  in  different  copies.  The  descriptions  are  not 
sufficiently  determinative  in  every  case,  but  the  original  specimens  (at  least 
many  of  them)  are  still  in  existence  and  have  been  studied  carefully  by  Dr. 
C.  E.  Hellmayr.  The  latter  author's  "Revision  der  Spix'schen  Typen  brasil-

A  complete  account  of  the  birds  of  Africa  south  of  the  Zambesi  and  Cune'ne' 
rivers.  Each  species  is  described,  synonymy  and  distribution  are  given,  and 
there  are  copious  but  concise  notes  on  general  habits,  food,  song  and  nidification. 
Tables  to  families,  genera  and  species  are  given  throughout  and  a  table  to  the 
orders  is  added  in  Vol.  Ill,  pp.  VI- VIII.  A  good  bibliography  is  given  in  Vol.  I. 
Vols.  I  and  II  contain  the  Passerine  forms;  the  other  volumes  contain  the 
groups  mentioned  on  their  titles.  Volume  I  was  written  entirely  by  Stark,  who 
died  shortly  before  its  publication.  Vol.  II  was  edited  by  Sclater  from  Stark's 
manuscript.  Vols.  Ill  and  IV  were  written  entirely  by  Sclater  with  the  assis- 
tance of  Stark's  notes.  Of  the  remainder  of  the  series  belonging  under  the  general 
title  of  "The  Fauna  of  South  Africa,"  only  the  volumes  on  the  Mammalia,  by 
Sclater,  were  ever  published  (1900-01).  A  "Check-List  of  the  Birds  of  South 
Africa,"  comprising  a  list  of  the  species  contained  in  the  present  work,  together 
with  such  additions  as  were  necessary  to  bring  the  work  to  date,  was  published 
in  the  Annals  of  the  South  African  Museum,  III,  Pt.  8,  1905.

According  to  the  editor's  preface,  the  "plan  of  the  work  includes  brief  descriptions 

of  the  birds  themselves ;    the   local    distribution,  migration,  and 

relative  abundance  of  every  species;  together  with  as  much  general  information 
respecting  their  habits  as  can  conveniently  be  brought  within  the  compass  of  a 
hand-book  of  New  England  Ornithology."  The  original  manuscript  was 
written  by  Stearns,  but  was  revised  and  partially  rewritten  by  Coues  who 
assumed  responsibility  for  the  accurateness  and  completeness  of  the  work. 
The  text-figures  are  all  taken  from  Coues's  Key,  ist  ed.,  1872  (q.v.).

A  working  list  of  373  species  of  birds  of  prey,  giving  bibliographic  references  to

quoted  in  the  text  is  given  after  the  introduction.  The  book  is  posthumous 
and  was  prepared  from  Strickland's  manuscript  by  his  wife  and  father-in-law 
who  planned  to  publish  the  remaining  portions  of  the  work  at  a  later  date, — 
a  project  never  realized  although  two  sheets  of  the  second  volume  were  printed 
in  1860  or  later  (Cf.  Mathews,  Austral  Avian  Record,  5,  No.  i,  pp.  18-19, 
1922.).  The  introduction,  dated  Sept.  i,  1855,  gives  a  reference  to  G.  R.  Gray's 
"A  List"  (  =  Catalogue)  "of  the  Genera  and  Subgenera  of  Birds,"  1855  (q.v.), 
which  is  quoted  as  already  published,  but  as  that  work  is  also  of  uncertain 
date,  the  reference  does  not  aid  materially  in  fixing  the  date  of  the  present 
volume.

A  detailed  catalogue  of  Swiss  birds,  discussing  each  species  in  its  place  from  a 
great  variety  of  aspects.  It  was  begun  by  Studer  and  Fatio  but  taken  over 
by  Burg  with  the  4th  part  in  1907  and  continued  by  him  to  date.  It  is  not 
yet  complete.  An  edition  in  French  has  been  issued  more  or  less  synchronously 
under  the  title  of  "Catalogue  des  Oiseaux  de  la  Suisse,"  recently  changed  to 
"Les  Oiseaux  de  la  Suisse"  to  conform  with  the  corresponding  alteration  in  the 
title  of  the  German  edition,  as  transcribed  above.

first  volume  of  a  projected  treatise  intended  to  include  other  groups  besides 
birds;  Allen  (Auk,  12,  p.  384,  1895),  in  reviewing  Pt.  5  of  the  original  papers, 
notes  that  the  following  section  is  planned  to  deal  with  insects  and  fishes,  but 
I  can  find  no  references  to  the  publication  of  later  volumes.  The  date,  1897,

after  Sundevall's  death.  Vol.  I  appeared  in  22  parts  for  which  the  following

Of  the  remainder  of  the  work,  I  can  find  no  complete  data.  Pp.  353-520 
are  dated  (in  the  signature)  1881;  521-704,  1881-2;  705-916,  1881-3;  917-1060,

dated  1883  but  was  printed  in  1886;  that  of  Vol.  Ill  is  dated  1885  and  was 
printed  that  same  year;  the  title-page  for  the  fourth  volume  is  missing.  The 
Zoological  Record  lists  Parts  XXHI-XXVHI,  pp.  353-755,  under  date  of 
1883,  and  Pts.  XXXVI-XL,  pp.  1165-1570,  under  date  of  1887.  The  title-pages 
of  II  and  III  were,  evidently,  issued  out  of  place,  since  they  are  inserts  and 
contain  directions  to  the  binder  for  their  insertion.  The  present  copy  has 
pages  757-972  bound  in  Vol.  II,  the  title-page  of  Vol.  II  at  p.  973,  and  all  of 
Vol.  IV  in  Vol.  III.

An  exposition  of  the  author's  system  of  classification  of  birds.  All  groups  from 
families  upwards  are  characterized  and  the  genera  frequently  are  segregated 
into  several  groups  of  subfamily  rank  which  are  characterized  but  not  named. 
Type  species  are  cited  for  each  genus  and  a  certain  amount  of  generic  synonymy 
is  given,  with  types  cited  for  the  synonyms.  Numerous  new  genera  and  one 
new  species  are  described  in  the  work.  The  book  was  issued  in  two  parts,  the 
first  of  which  appeared  in  1872  and  contained  pp.  I-XLVIII  and  1-72  (Cf. 
Zool.  Record,  1872.);  the  second  completed  the  volume  and  appeared  in  1873, 
having  been  delayed  by  the  illness  of  the  author.  Mathews  (Birds  of  Australia, 
Suppl.  5,  p.  130,  1925)  cites  the  date,  Aug.  i,  1872,  from  the  back  of  the  original 
wrapper  of  Pt.  I;  he  also  gives  the  date  of  Pt.  II  as  before  June  12,  1873,  but 
does  not  cite  the  source  of  this  information.

A  series  of  excellent  hand-colored  plates,  drawn  by  the  author,  accompanied  by 
descriptions  of  the  species  and  some  of  the  genera  and  more  or  less  detailed 
discussions  of  the  same.  Many  new  names  are  used.  The  work  appeared  in 
parts  but  it  is  impossible  to  affix  definite  dates  to  these  parts  or  even  to  give 
their  exact  number  or  content.  Mathews  (Austr.  Av.  Rec.  4,  p.  23,  1920),  on 
the  authority  of  Sherborn,  gives  Oct.  i,  1820  as  the  date  of  the  first  number 
which  contained  6  pll.  This  seems  to  have  been  followed  regularly  each  month 
by  similar  parts,  with  contents  as  follows  from  data  given  by  Sherborn  (Index 
Anim.,  Sect.  2,  Pt.  i,  p.  CXX,  1922).  Nov.  1820 — Aug.  1821,  n  parts  (6  pll. 
each),  pll.  7-66;  Sept.  1821,  i  part  (5  pll.),  pll.  67-71;  Oct.  1821 — Sept.  1822, 


'Three  sectional  titles  are  the  same  as  the  title  quoted  above  except  for  the  volume-numbe^which 
is  replaced  by  "Vertebrosa.  Part  I";  "Entomology.  Part  I";  and  "Conchology.  Parti." 

The  sectional  titles  for  the  second  series,  although  bound  with  the  first  volume,  agree  in  lettering 
and  date  with  the  title-page  of  Vol.  Ill  from  which  they  differ  only  in  the  substitution  of  "Second 
series.  The  birds.";  "Second  series.  The  insects.";  and  "Second  series.  The  shells."  for  "Vol. 
III.  Second  series."  No  sectional  subtitles  were  issued  with  Vols.  II  and  III  of  this  series.

12  parts  (4  pll.),  pll.  72-119;  Oct.  1822 — Sept.  1823,  12  parts  (5  pll.),  pll.  120- 
179;  Oct.  1823,  i  part  (3  pll.),  pll.  180-182.  Title-pages  and  indices  appeared 
in  the  numbers  for  Sept.  1821  (probably  Oct.  1822?),  and  Oct.  1823.  The 
number  of  parts  (37)  thus  agrees  with  a  statement  by  Swainson  in  a  bibliog- 
raphy which  is  given  in  Vol.  I  of  the  second  series. 

The  second  series  is  even  more  in  doubt  than  the  first.  According  to  Mathews 
(I.e.)  it  was  announced  to  begin  on  February  29,  1829  (is  this  date  possible?); 
3  parts  were  reviewed  as  early  as  April  but  only  6  were  published  in  all  in  that 
year,  being  reviewed  in  Febr.  1830.  Four  parts,  including  one  with  titles,  etc., 
appeared  in  1830,  and  succeeding  parts  were  issued  regularly  for  the  first  8 
months  in  1831.  From  Sherborn  (Index  Animal.  Sect.  2,  Pt.  i,  p.  CXX, 
1922)  and  from  the  indices  of  Vols.  I-III  of  Ser.  2,  which  give  the  number  of 
plates  and  the  parts  in  which  they  appeared,  the  following  arrangement  ap- 
pears to  be  more  or  less  accurate.  Pts.  1-6  (5  pll.),  pll.  1-30,  1829;  Pts.  7-9 
(5  pll.),  pll.  31-45,  1830;  Pt.  10,  title-page  and  index  (Vol.  I)  but  no  plates, 
1830;  Pts.  11-18  (5  pll.),  pll.  46-85,  1831;  Pt.  19  (5  pll.),  pll.  86-90,  1832;  Pt. 
20  (i  pi.),  pi.  91  and  title-page  and  index  (Vol.  II),  1832;  Pt.  21  (5  pll.),  pll. 
92-96,  1832;  Pts.  22-29  (5  pll-)»  pll.  97-136,  1833;  Pt.  30,  title-page  and  index 
(Vol.  Ill)  but  no  plates,  1833.  Swainson  (Loudon's  Mag.  Nat.  Hist.  IV,  p. 
272,  1831)  writing  under  date  of  Febr.  1831,  says  that  Pts.  17  and  18  appeared 
about  a  month  previously. 

To  complicate  matters,  it  is  apparent,  from  a  statement  by  Swainson  in  the  pref- 
ace to  Vol.  Ill  of  Ser.  2,  that  a  reissue  was  made  of  some  of  the  earlier  numbers  of 
the  work.  An  examination  of  the  present  copy  reveals  numerous  plates  in 
Ser.  i,  Vols.  I-III,  and  Ser.  2,  Vol.  I,  No.  i,  which  are  watermarked  184(0-1  ?; 
final  numeral  trimmed  off).  What  changes,  if  any,  may  have  been  made  in 
the  reissues,  I  do  not  know  beyond  the  fact  that  certain  of  the  plates  in  the 
first  series  bear  a  date  subsequent  to  that  of  their  original  issue.  The  following 
cases  have  been  noted.  Vol.  I,  pi.  49,  "21.3.1832."  Vol.  II,  pi.  100,  "25.1. 
1832";  pi.  115,  "17/3/1832."  Vol.  Ill,  pi.  151,  "1829  20  May";  pll.  154,  155 
and  156,  "1828."  On  (advertising)  p.  34  of  Jardine's  "Naturalist's  Library" 
Ornithology  Vol.  II,  dated  1833,  there  is  a  statement  that  the  second  edition 
of  the  first  series  of  Swainson's  work  would  be  ready  that  spring.  This  may 
represent  still  another  edition  than  the  one  in  hand. 

Of  the  318  plates  published  in  the  work,  117  are  ornithological.  Ser.  i,  Vol. 
I  contained  24;  Vol.  II,  20;  and  Vol.  Ill,  26  plates  of  birds,  and  Ser.  2,  Vol.  I, 
24;  Vol.  II,  15;  and  Vol.  Ill,  8  plates  of  birds.  A  curious  error  occurs  on  pi. 
97  in  Ser.  2,  Vol.  Ill,  where  Swainson,  usually  a  most  accurate  draughtsman, 
represents  a  bird  with  its  feet  crossed  in  an  impossible  attitude.

A  series  of  78  hand-colored  plates  of  Neotropical  birds,  with  a  list  of  species  pre- 
fixed, giving  English  and  Latin  names.  Most  of  these  names  also  appear  on 
the  plates  but  pll.  48,  69,  70  and  73-78  have  no  Latin  names  on  them,  the  names 
on  pll.  6-8,  40,  41  and  58  have  been  amended  in  the  list,  and  the  name  on  pi. 
71  has  been  entirely  changed.  The  work  was  issued  originally  in  parts  from 
1834-36?  Engelmann  cites  7  parts.  Pt.  i,  containing  13  pll.,  is  reviewed  in 
Loudon's  Mag.  of  Nat.  Hist.,  Vol.  VII,  p.  183,  "March"  1834.  Ridgway 
(Bull.  U.  S.  Nat.  Mus.,  50,  Pt.  2,  p.  56;  Pt.  3,  p.  529;  and  Pt.  4,  pp.  471  and 
542)  quotes  pi.  15  as  in  Pt.  2,  1834;  pi-  37  as  in  Pt.  3,  1836;  pi  48  as  in  Pt.  4, 
1836?  and  pi.  53  as  in  Pt.  5,  also  1836?  Tschudi  (Archiv.  fur  Naturg.,  Jahrg. 
u,  i,  p.  362,  1845)  ascribes  pi.  58  to  Pt.  5,  under  date  of  1841,  but  it  is  possible 
that  Tschudi  had  a  copy  of  the  work  similar  to  the  one  at  hand  which  seems 
to  be  properly  dated  1841,  throughout.  Swainson,  in  his  "Animals  in  Menag- 
eries" (Cf.  Lardner,  Dionysius,  The  Cabinet  Cyclopaedia,  1837.),  mentions 
pll.  63  and  64  as  though  they  were  already  published.  This  note,  if  accurate, 
would  place  Pt.  5  as  of  December  1837  or  before.  Coues  catalogues  a  copy 
containing  only  62  plates  as  comprising  Pts.  1-5,  Pt.  6  missing,  but  it  is  probable 
that  this  copy  lacked,  also,  the  last  three  plates  of  Pt.  S-  The  conclusion 
which  seems  most  probable  (but  which  needs  confirmation)  is  that  there  were 
13  plates  in  each  of  the  six  parts  as  originally  issued. 

No  text  appears  to  have  been  published  with  the  original  edition,  which  bore 
as  title,  "Ornithological  Drawings,  being  Figures  of  the  Rarer  and  most  In- 
teresting Birds  of  Brazil"  (Cf.  Engelmann.)  or  "The  Ornithological  Drawings 
of  William  Swainson  -  -  The  Birds  of  Brazil"  (Cf.  Coues.).  The  present  edition 
seems  to  have  appeared  as  a  separate  volume  with  a  new  title-page  and  with  the 
addition  of  a  list  of  plates,  while  the  plates  (at  least  in  part)  were  newly  printed. 
Several  kinds  of  paper  are  used  for  the  plates;  pll.  74-78  are  on  thin  paper  which 
is  mounted  on  some  of  a  heavier  quality;  pll.  4  and  14  are  watermarked  "184-" 
(the  final  figure  lost  by  trimming  the  plate).  Quotations  from  the  present  work 
may  properly  be  dated  1841.  Engelmann  catalogues  both  this  edition  and  the 
original.  Many  new  names  d£te  from  the  original  work.

A  popular  account  of  certain  British  warblers,  with  descriptions  and  notes  on 
habits,  methods  of  capture,  behaviour  in  captivity,  etc.  The  plates  are  hand- 
colored.  There  is  some  uncertainty  as  to  dates  of  publication  and  manner  of 
issue.  Mullens  and  Swann  note  the  existence  of  several  copies  with  only 
six  plates  (as  indicated  on  the  title)  and  with  abbreviated  text;  these  may 
constitute  an  original  edition.  They  also  quote  Neville  Wood  (Ornith.  Text 
Book,  p.  37,  1836)  for  inclusive  dates  of  1823  to  1832,  and  C.  T.  Wood  (Ornith. 
Guide,  1835)  for  the  statement  that  the  work  appeared  in  3  numbers.  In  the 
Mag.  Nat.  Hist.,  I,  p.  57,  May  1828,  Pts.  I-III  (including  pll.  i-n)  are  reviewed 
and  pll.  1 2- 1 6  are  promised  to  follow.  The  next  year  in  the  same  journal,  II, 
p.  50,  March  1829,  the  work  is  noted  as  being  complete  with  16  pll.  To  confute 
this  clear  statement,  pi.  7  of  the  present  copy  is  on  paper  watermarked  "1829"; 
this  may  indicate  a  re-impression.  The  work  is  rather  rare.

A  most  important  monograph  of  Peruvian  ornithology.  Vols.  I-III  contain 
exceedingly  detailed  descriptions  and  synonymy,  notes  on  habits  from  the 
field  notes  of  collectors,  and  accounts  of  the  distribution  of  each  of  1350  species 
•with  the  authority  for  the  records.  Vol.  I  (pp.  9-73)  also  contains  topographical 
and  distributional  notes  and  accounts  of  localities  visited  by  Stolzmann  and 
Jelski.  The  fourth  volume  consists  of  synoptic  tables  to  the  genera  and  species 
treated  in  the  work,  and  a  Latin  index  to  the  first  three  volumes.  The  actual 
days  or  months  of  issue  of  the  four  volumes  are  doubtful;  the  years  appear 
to  be  correctly  stated  on  the  title-pages.  Vol.  I  is  reviewed  in  the  Ibis  for 
Oct.  1884;  II  in  April  1885;  III  in  April  1886  and  the  "Tables"  in  January 
1887.  The  book  is  indispensable  to  the  worker  in  Peruvian  ornithology.

A  catalogue  of  the  author's  collection  of  birds  and  monkeys  with  descriptions  of 
new  species  of  birds  and  a  list  of  the  species  of  birds  and  mammals  for  exchange. 
Pp.  6-196  contain  the  systematic  list  of  birds,  with  Latin  and  vernacular  names 
and  references  to  literature  for  the  known  species,  and  with  vernacular  names 
alone  for  the  undescribed  species  which  are  not  described  here  but  noted, 
simply,  as  nondescript.  The  serial  numbers  of  the  author's  collection  are  given 
throughout.  Pp.  197-270  contain  the  descriptions  of  the  new  species,  but  no 
Latin  names  are  used.  The  species  were  afterwards  named  by  a  variety  of 
authors,  chief  among  whom  was  Vieillot  who  is  said  to  have  copied  many  of  the 
descriptions  of  Temminck  or  to  have  based  his  names  upon  an  examination  of 
the  same  specimens  used  by  the  latter.  Hartlaub  in  Jardine's  "Contributions 
to  Ornithology"  for  1849,  published  a  review  of  the  names  given  to  the  birds 
in  this  work,  as,  "A  Systematic  Index  to  a  series  of  descriptions  of  birds, 
published  by  C.  J.  Temminck,"  etc.  The  list  of  birds  and  mammals  for 
exchange  occupies  pp.  1-34  at  the  close  of  the  present  volume.  The  Ayer 
Ornithological  Library  is  indebted  to  Dr.  Charles  W.  Richmond  for  the  copy 
of  this  rare  pamphlet.

A  monograph  of  the  pigeons  and  gallinaceous  birds  (as  construed  by  the  author). 
Vol.  I,  besides  a  preface  and  general  introduction,  contains  the  account  of  the 
pigeons, — a  reprint  of  the  text  which  Temminck  had  prepared  for  his  illustrated 
folio  that  was  stolen  by  Madame  Knip  (Cf.  Knip,  Les  Pigeons,  1807-11.). 
Vols.  II  and  III  relate  to  the  gallinaceous  birds  and  contain  an  account  which 
Temminck  had  in  preparation  for  a  folio  but  which  he  was  deterred  from 
publishing  in  that  form  by  the  misfortune  he  experienced  with  the  volume  on 
pigeons.  A  detailed  statement  of  the  transaction  is  given  on  pp.  640-644  of 
Vol.  III.  Numerous  new  names  are  used.

Intended  as  a  supplement  to  Buffon's  "Planches  Enlumine"es"  (Cf.  Buffon,  His- 
toire  Naturelle  des  Oiseaux,  177086.)  which  it  follows  in  design  and  size,  having 
appeared  in  large  folio  as  well  as  in  its  present  form.  The  "Tableau  M6tho- 
dique,"  belonging  in  Vol.  I,  contains  Buffon's  species  and  plates  arranged  in 
systematic  order  with  those  of  the  present  authors.  The  work  was  issued  in 
102  livraisons,  the  earlier  numbers  being  published  by  Dufour  and  d'Ocagne, 
the  later  ones  by  Levrault,  from  August  1820  to  Jan.  29,  1839.  G.  R.  Crotch 
(Ibis,  1868,  pp.  499-500)  published  a  list  of  dates  for  most  of  the  livraisons, 
extracted  from  the  "Bibliographic  Francaise"  ( =  "Bibliographic  de  la 
France"  ?).  Sherborn  (Ibis,  1898,  pp.  485-488)  revised  Crotch's  list,  and 
Mathews  (Birds  of  Australia,  7,  pp.  468-471)  added  information  secured  from 
the  "Bibliographic  de  la  France."  Some  of  the  earlier  livraisons,  recorded 
in  the  latter  paper,  seem  to  have  been  supplied  to  subscribers  considerably 
later  than  the  dates  of  their  original  issue,  from  which  fact  Mathews  deduces  a 
second  edition  of  these  numbers.  Stresemann  (Anzeiger  Orn.  Ges.  Bayern, 
No.  7,  pp.  54-55,  Nov.  20,  1922)  adds  several  dates  not  in  the  older  lists.  From 
the  different  sources,  the  earliest  dates  given  for  receipt  or  publication  of  the 
various  livraisons  are  as  follows.

The  publication  commenced  as  a  series  of  plates,  and  20  livraisons  appeared, 
without  text  other  than  the  vernacular  names  on  the  plates,  but  (which  is 
very  important)  with  Latin  and  vernacular  names  and  the  habitats  of  the 
species  printed  on  the  wrappers  (Cf.  Vol.  I,  Prospectus,  p.  8;  also  Sherborn,  I.e.). 
Since  there  were  changes  made  in  parts  of  the  text  from  time  to  time,  as 
shown  below,  and  since  other  irregularities  exist,  it  is  desirable  to  quote,  wherever 
possible  to  obtain  them,  the  names  given  on  the  wrappers.  Sherborn  pointed 


628  FIELD  MUSEUM  OF  NATURAL  HISTORY — ZOOLOGY,  VOL.  XVI. 

out  that  the  text  to  the  first  20  livraisons  appeared  with  that  of  the  zist  livrai- 
son  and  that,  thereafter,  text  and  plates  were  issued  together.  In  some  cases, 
however,  the  text  and  the  plate  of  certain  species  were  not  in  the  same  livraison. 
Stresemann  offers  information  tending  to  show  that  the  first  20  livraisons  of 
text  were  not  issued  simultaneously  but  that  they  appeared  at  various  dates 
up  to  December  1823,  but  the  data  which  he  quotes  are  rather  confusing  be- 
cause of  overlapping  serial  numbers. 

The  original  plan  proposed  6  plates  for  each  livraison,  and,  in  most  cases, 
this  number  seems  to  have  been  issued.  The  101  livraisons  (the  iO2nd  con- 
tained only  titles,  table,  etc.)  contained  only  600  plates,  so  it  is  apparent  that 
there  was  a  loss  of  6  plates  during  the  course  of  publication.  An  analysis  of 
the  livraison-numbers  on  the  sheets  of  text  shows  a  probability  that  livraisons 
27,  63  or  64,  77,  94  and  101  each  contained  but  5  plates;  that  75  or  76  contained 
7  plates;  and  that  82  contained  but  4  while  83  contained  6  plates,  or  that  82 
and  83  each  contained  but  5  plates.  There  are  indeterminate  irregularities  in 
the  87th  to  8gth  livraisons,  also.  Exact  calculation  is  impossible  since  some  of 
the  questionable  plates  are  described  in  the  same  pages  or  paragraphs  with 
other  plates  of  the  same  species  whose  numbers  are  very  widely  separated, 
and  the  text  was  issued  with  these  other  plates. 

The  following  irregularities  have  been  noted  in  the  copy  at  hand.    In  Vol. 

I,  the  text  to  pi.  13,  livr.  3,  and  in  Vol.  Ill,  the  discussion  of  the  genus  Pogonias 
in  livr.  34,  were  suppressed  and  substitute  sheets  were  published  later  which 
were  given  the  original  livraison-numbers.    The  dates  of  the  reissues  are  inde- 
terminable as  are  the  Latin  name  originally  given  to  the  subject  of  pi.  13  and 
the  altered  matter  of  livr.  34.    In  Vol.  IV,  livr.  43,  the  text  to  pi.  254  was  sup- 
pressed and  replaced  by  new  text  in  livr.  95,  correctly  numbered.     In  Vol. 

II,  the  subjects  of  pi.  21  (livr.  4)  and  pi.  34  (livr.  6)  are  described  on  opposite 
sides  of  a  leaf  in  livr.  4 ;  in  livr.  1 7  the  text  to  pi.  98  alters  the  name  first  given  on 
the  wrapper  which  accompanied  the  plate,  but  the  suppressed  name  is  not  quoted. 
The  "Tableau  Me"thodique"  of  Vol.  I,  published  in  livr.  102,  suppresses  an  earlier 
one  published  in  livr.  87.     Many  leaves  of  text,  dealing  with  species  figured 
on  two  or  more  plates  which  are  separated  by  a  great  interval  of  numbering, 
appear  to  have  been  issued  with  the  first  of  the  respective  plates,  but  they  dis- 
cuss the  other  plates  which  had  not  then  been  published;  Vol.  I,  pll.  192  and 
224,  with  text  in  livr.  33,  presents  a  case  in  point.    Sometimes  the  first  plate 
came  out  without  text  but  was  discussed  with  a  second  plate  in  a  later  number. 
Absolute  precision  in  citing  names  from  the  book  will  be  possible  only  when 
a  set  of  original  wrappers  is  available  for  collation. 

Minor  errors  occur  in  the  "Tableau  Me'thodique"  (where  plate-numbers  are 
wrongly  quoted  or  placed  in  the  wrong  column)  and  in  the  numbering  in  the 
text  and  on  the  plates. 

Laugier's  share  in  the  work  is  not  clear  aside  from  the  fact  that  many  of  the 
specimens  described  are  from  his  collection.  Temminck  is  to  be  credited  with 
all  nomenclature  (Cf.  Vol.  I,  Prospectus,  p.  9.).  The  Prospectus  which  explains 
the  nature  of  the  work,  is  from  the  pen  of  Cuvier.  An  unnumbered  page  of 
Postscript,  issued  by  Temminck  with  the  loist  livraison,  is  dated  August  30, 
1836.  A  supplement  is  found  in  the  "Iconographie  Ornithologique"  of  Des 
Murs,  1845-49  (q.v.).

A  manual  of  European  ornithology,  forming  the  second  edition  of  a  work  of  the 
same  title  published  in  1815  in  Amsterdam.  In  the  present  edition  two  parts 
were  issued  in  1820;  the  third  part,  comprising  a  supplement  to  Pt.  I,  appeared 
in  1835  and  the  fourth  in  1840,  —  the  latter  containing  the  supplement  to  Pt. 
II,  a  bibliography  to  Pts.  Ill  and  IV,  and  a  table  correlating  the  matter  of 
the  whole  work.  Copies  exist  in  which  the  second  part  contains  a  title  different 
from  that  quoted  above  and  it  is  possible  that  the  one  at  hand  is  of  later  issue. 
Probably,  only  the  title-page  has  been  reprinted  (publisher,  printer  and  date 
are  more  or  less  in  agreement  in  Pts.  II  and  IV).  Pt.  I  (pp.  XLIV-XLVJ) 
contains  a  bibliography  and  (pp.  XLVIJ-CXV)  a  detailed  presentation  of  a 
general  classification  of  birds.  The  latter  is  of  considerable  importance  outside 
of  European  ornithology  since  it  is  not  restricted  to  the  European  fauna  and 
since  it  contains  many  new  names.  In  Pt.  Ill  (p.  LXIX)  it  is  announced  that 
illustrations  of  the  species  described  in  the  present  work  are  in  course  of  publi- 
cation by  Werner  (J.  C.).  These  illustrations  were  issued  in  1848  under  the 
cover  title,  "Atlas  des  Oiseaux  d'Europe,  pour  servir  de  complement  au  Manuel 
d'Ornithologie  de  M.  Temninck,"  changed  in  a  later  issue  and  on  the  title-page 
to,  "Les  Oiseaux  d'Europe"  by  Werner  (q.v.).  They  were  sometimes  offered 
for  sale  in  combination  with  Temminck's  "Manuel"  as  a  single  work,  but, 
although  complementary,  the  two  works  are  distinct.  Engelmann  cites  the 
"Manuel"  under  dates  of  1820,  '35,  '39  and  '40;  the  reason  for  the  "39,"  I  am 
unable  to  determine.

An  exposition  of  Abbott  H.  Thayer's  views  on  the  theory  that  almost  all  animals 
possess  a  "coloration  that  matches  the  background"  and  serves  as  a  "device 
for  the  concealment  of  its  wearer,  either  throughout  the  main  part  of  this  wearer's 
life,  or  under  certain  peculiarly  important  circumstances."  The  illustrations 
are  designed  to  demonstrate  the  theory,  and  the  colored  plates  were  prepared 
by  painting  birds  or  other  animals  against  a  background  in  which  the  colors, 
or  even  color-patterns,  of  the  specimens  were  reproduced.  The  work  has  been 
severely  criticised  and  warmly  defended.  Among  the  important  papers  dis- 
cussing it  may  be  mentioned  the  following.  F.  H.  Allen  Auk,  39,  pp.  489-507,

Descriptions  of  the  eggs  and  nidification  of  European  birds,  with  hand-colored 
plates  of  many  of  the  eggs.  At  least  one  new  name  is  used,  Anser  brevirostris, 
in  Pt.  V,  p.  28.  The  work  appeared  in  five  parts  although  originally  planned 
for  six  (Cf.  Pref.  p.  VI.).  Each  part  bears  a  title-page  which  is  essentially  that 
of  the  complete  volume,  with  the  exception  of  the  number  of  the  part,  contents, 
plates  and  date  which  replace  11.  19-20  as  follows.

A  work  similar  to  the  author's  "Systematische  Darstellung,"  etc.,  1825-38  (q.v.), 
but  of  wider  scope  and  not  confined  to  European  species.  It  was  issued  in  10

pp.  I-XX,  pll.  XCI-C,  1856.  An  author's  note  on  p.  Ill,  dated  October  1856, 
advises  that  ill  health  has  interrupted  the  course  of  the  work  and  that  there  are 
three  plates  yet  unpublished  and  much  of  the  text  unwritten:  The  text  on  p. 
432  stops  in  the  middle  of  a  sentence  and  was  never  completed.  The  title  on 
the  wrappers  was  "Fortpflanzungsgeschichte  der  gesammten  Vogel  nach  dem 
gegenwartigen  Standpunkte  der  Wissenschaft."  There  are  said  to  be  new 
names  in  the  book  ascribed,  erroneously,  to  other  authors;  Todirostrum  mar- 
garitaceiventer  is  renamed  Fluvicola  margaritacea  on  p.  311.

A  comprehensive  discussion  of  all  the  birds  of  Ireland,  with  reference  to  habits 
and  characteristics,  is  contained  in  the  first  three  volumes.  The  author's 
evident  intention  was  to  publish  similar  volumes  on  all  of  the  zoological  groups, 
but  his  death  in  1852  put  an  end  to  the  project.  His  notes  were  bequeathed  to 
Robert  Patterson  and  James  R.  Garrett  with  the  request  to  edit  and  publish 
them,  a  task  which  resulted  in  Vol.  IV.  The  ornithology  was  completed  in  the 
three  first  volumes  and  is  entirely  from  the  pen  of  Thompson.  The  work  is 
highly  praised  by  Coues.

A  series  of  monographs  issued  at  irregular  intervals  and  still  in  course  of  publica- 
tion. Five  numbers  have  appeared  on  birds,  Nos.  i,  2,  9,  15  and  18,  by  Ernst 
Hartert  (1897),  Walter  Rothschild  (1898),  Ernst  Hartert  (1900),  Otto  Finsch 
(1901)  and  Charles  E.  Hellmayr  (1903),  respectively.  These  parts  are  collected 
and  bound  in  one  volume  in  the  present  copy.  Owing  to  separate  pagination 
and  various  changes  in  title-pages,  I  have  catalogued  each  monograph  under 
its  author  (q.v.).  Begun  by  the  Deutschen  Zoologischen  Gesellschaft,  the 
work  was  issued  latterly  by  the  Koniglich  Preussischen  Akademie  der  Wissen- 
schaften  zu  Berlin.  In  addition  to  the  title-pages  (with  alterations)  as  quoted 
above,  each  part  bears  an  additional  title-page  with  the  same  import  but  with 
the  general  title  and  the  lines  relating  to  editorship,  etc.,  condensed  while 
greater  prominence  is  given  to  the  individual  title  and  author.

A  detailed  discussion  of  the  vertebrate  fauna  of  Peru  based  on  the  author's 
investigations  during  five  years  of  travel  in  that  country.  The  section  on  birds 
bears  the  following  subtitle, — "Ornithologie  |  bearbeitet  |  von  |  Dr.  J.  J. 
Tschudi  |  mit  Anmerkungen  |  von  |  J.  Cabanis,  |  Adjunkt  am  zoologischen 
Museum  in  Berlin  |  1845  und  1846."  It  contains  a  preface,  a  systematic  list 
of  species  (pp.  15-56)  and  the  general  text,  which  includes  descriptions  of 
several  new  species  by  Cabanis.  Most  of  the  new  species  were  described  by 
Tschudi  in  the  Archiv  fur  Naturgeschichte,  10,  Hft.  3,  pp.  262-317,  July  1844 
and  II,  Hft.  4,  1845.  The  entire  work  appeared  in  12  Lieferungen,  but  there  is 
disagreement  among  bibliographers  as  to  the  issue  of  the  ornithological  por- 
tions. Lafresnaye  (Rev.  Zool.,  1848,  p.  5,  footn.  i)  remarks  that  the  figure  of 
Scaphorhynchus  chrysocephalus  on  pi.  8,  fig.  i  of  Tschudi  was  not  accompanied 
by  the  description;  this  plate  is  given  the  date,  1845,  on  a  following  page  (I.e., 
p.  7).  Dean  (Bibliogr.  of  Fishes,  Pt.  2,  p.  565,  1917),  quoting  Sherborn  and 
the  Isis,  places  12  plates  of  birds  in  Pts.  3-5  issued  in  1845,  and  5  plates  and 
all  of  the  text  of  birds  (including  the  conclusion  of  the  mammals  and  all  of  the 
reptiles  and  fishes)  in  Pts.  6-12  issued  in  1846.  Sherborn  (Index  Animalium, 
Sect.  2,  Pt.  I,  p.  CXXIV,  1922)  places  pp.  1-32  of  birds  (with  the  end  of  mam- 
mals) in  Pt.  6,  1846,  and  the  rest  of  the  birds  (with  reptiles  and  fishes)  in  Pts. 
7-12,  1846.  Engelmann  includes  pll.  I-XVIII  and  pp.  1-32  of  birds  in  Lie- 
ferungen 4-6,  dated  1844-46,  and  adds  8  signatures  (to  p.  96)  and  6  pll.  (to  pi. 
XXIV)  in  Lief.  7,  dated  1846.  Andreas  Wagner  (Archiv  fur  Naturg.,  12, 
Hft.  2,  p.  168,  1846)  says  that  the  6th  Lieferung  appeared  in  1845  and  con- 
tained all  the  systematic  list  (to  p.  56).  Hartlaub  (Archiv  fur  Naturg.,  13, 
Hft.  2,  p.  50,  1847)  announces  the  appearance  of  the  remainder  of  the  text 
in  1846.  Schomburgk  (Reisen  in  Britisch-Guiana,  Pt.  3,  p.  500,  footn.,  1848) 
mentions  p.  70  of  Lief.  7  of  Tschudi.  It  is  evident,  in  any  case,  that  the  descrip- 
tive text  relating  to  birds  all  appeared  in  1846  with  most  of  the  plates.  If  pll. 
I-XII  appeared  in  1845,  the  fact  does  not  affect  nomenclature  since  all  of  the 
species  there  figured  were  described  in  the  Archiv  fur  Naturg.,  10,  Hft.  3,  July 
1844.  The  name  on  pi.  I  is  suppressed  on  p.  87,  footn.

A  catalogue  of  British  birds,  being,  simply,  a  list  of  species  with  names  in  Latin,

names  are  tenable  and  various  names  date  from  this  publication.  This  original

An  American  edition  of  the  work  published  the  same  year  in  Glasgow  under  the 

^  same  title  (q.v.).  The  two  editions  differ  in  various  particulars.  The  title- 
pages  are  distinct  (as  shown  in  above  transcriptions).  There  are  no  illustra- 
tions in  the  present  edition  (except  on  the  wrapper)  and  the  portion  of  the 
preface  referring  to  the  artistic  matter  is  omitted,  necessitating  some  verbal 
changes  in  adjacent  paragraphs.  The  space  left  by  the  omission  of  the  illus- 
trations has  been  partially  filled  by  combining  adjacent  pages,  leaving  the 
"page  make-up"  of  the  letterpress  unaltered,  although  the  numbering  is 
changed.  This  was  made  possible  by  the  arrangement  of  the  cuts,  but  the 
spaces  still  left  between  sections  of  the  work  are  very  uneven  in  size.  Two 
changes  in  nomenclature  are  to  be  noted.  Chordeiles  Virginianus  and  Ardea 
ccerulea  of  the  Glasgow  edition  are  changed  to  Chordeiles  popetue  and  Ardea 
caertilea,  respectively.  Coues  is  of  the  opinion  that  the  present  edition  is  the 
first,  but  I  believe  that  the  Glasgow  edition  was  printed  first,  although  it  may 
not  have  been  issued  until  later.  Both  editions  were  printed  in  Glasgow  and 
apparently  from  the  same  plates,  but  the  typography  is  rather  clearer,  and 
the  impression  sharper,  in  the  Glasgow  edition  while  the  irregular  spacing  in 
the  present  issue  points  to  omission,  rather  than  to  insertion  of  matter.

The  most  important  work  on  North  American  birds  up  to  its  date  since  Audubon 
and  Wilson.  The  work  consists  of  a  critical,  descriptive  account  of  all  the  birds 
of  North  America,  north  of  Mexico,  and  is  not  restricted  to  the  species  collected 
by  the  Pacific  Railroad  Surveys.  Most  of  it  is  by  Baird,  but  pp.  4-64,  689- 
753  and  900-918  are  by  Cassin  and  pp.  820-900  by  Lawrence.  Pp.  XVII-LVI 
were  reissued,  with  separate  title-page,  in  1858  as  Baird's  "Catalogue  of  North 
American  Birds"  (q.v.).  The  entire  volume  was  reprinted  in  1860  with  few 
alterations  and  issued,  together  with  plates  from  other  volumes  of  the  Pacific 
Railroad  Survey  reports,  the  U.  S.  and  Mexican  Boundary  Survey,  and  other

reports,  all  the  matter  in  Vol.  X  was  published  in  1859.

A  handbook  of  information  relative  to  the  birds  of  Ireland,  containing  the  records 
and  materials  acquired  since  the  publication  of  William  Thompson's  "Natural 
History  of  Ireland,"  1849-56  (q.v.).  Numerous  collaborators  are  thanked  for 
contributions,  especially  R.  M.  Barrington  whose  immediate  activity  in  issuing 
another  publication,  ?  "The  Migration  of  Birds,  1900  (q.v.),  alone  prevented 
his  name  from  appearing  on  the  title-page  of  this  one.  Most  of  the  text  is 
from  the  pen  of  Ussher;  several  articles  are  signed  by  Warren  who,  however, 
furnished  abundant  material  for  other  portions  of  the  work.  Mullens  and 
Swann  record  a  large  paper  edition  with  portraits  of  the  authors.

The  zoological  portion  of  the  report  on  the  voyage  of  La  Bonite  around  the 
world  in  1836-37.  The  entire  work  (publ.  1840-66)  comprises  15  vols.  of  text 
(in  u)  and  3  vols.  of  plates,  including  a  separate  volume  on  Zoophytology 
(published  in  1844)  which  is  not  included  in  the  present  set.  The  zoology  was 
entrusted  to  Eydoux  and  Souleyet  who  began  the  preparation  of  Vol.  I  (in- 
cluding the  birds).  The  death  of  Eydoux  on  July  6,  1841  (Cf.  p.  II  of  pref., 
Vol.  I.)  necessitated  the  completion  of  the  project  by  Souleyet,  in  which  he 
acknowledges  the  assistance  of  P.  Gervais.  The  ornithological  matter  in  Vol. 
I  is  contained  on  pp.  69-132,  of  which  pp.  107-132  were  supplied  by  de  Blain- 
ville. A  few  species  of  birds  are  mentioned,  also,  by  de  Blainville  on  pp.  III- 
IV  in  a  chapter  on  "Instructions  zoologiques  relatives  au  voyage"  and  on  pp. 
XIX-XXII  in  a  general  survey  of  the  scientific  results  of  the  voyage.  A  num- 
ber of  new  species  are  described  by  Eydoux  and  Souleyet.  The  plates  of  birds 
are  by  Pr6vost. 

Vol.  I  is  divided  into  two  parts  bearing  the  distinguishing  signatures,  "Partie 
I"  and  "Partie  II."  The  first  part  (as  so  divided)  includes  pp.  I-IV  (pref.), 
I-XXXIX+i,  and  1-132,  which  just  close  the  ornithological  portion  of  the 
volume.  The  second  part  embraces  pp.  133-334.  Sherborn  (Ann.  and  Mag.  Nat. 
Hist.,  7,  ser.  7,  p.  391,  1901),  quoting  from  the  Bibliographic  de  la  France, 
18  Dec.  1841,  Wiegmann's  Archiv,  1842  (Jahrg.  9,  2  Bd.),  pp.  16  and  38, 
and  l.c.,  1843  p.  156,  cites  pp.  I-XXXIX  and  1-106  as  of  1841,  and  107-328 
as  of  1842.  This  division  does  not  accord  with  the  signatures  in  the  volume 
while,  on  the  other  hand,  additional  evidence  seems  to  point  to  the  publication 
of  pp.  107-132  with  "Partie  I"  where  they  naturally  belong.  Wiegmann's 
Archiv  gives  no  references  to  pages  of  the  "Voyage,"  but  (in  1842,  p.  16)  says 
that  the  part  published  includes  the  mammals  and  birds,  while  on  pp.  84-85 
of  the  same  year  an  extensive  review  is  given  of  the  paper  by  de  Blainville 
(on  Chionis)  which  occupies  the  pages  in  dispute  (107-132).  In  the  next  year, 
1843,  p.  156,  the  reviewer  states  that  he  has  not  seen  the  remainder  of  the 
zoology  of  the  "Voyage"  (which  is  here  noted  as  published)  and  will  have  to 
postpone  his  review  of  it,  accordingly.  Evidently,  pp.  107-132  could  not  have 
been  among  the  portions  included  here  and  must  have  appeared  the  year 
before  when  it  was  reviewed.  "Partie  I"  includes  the  preface  (pp.  I-IV)  which 
is  dated  November  1841  and  if  all  of  "Partie  I"  appeared  together,  it  fixes  the

date  of  the  ornithology  of  the  voyage  as  between  the  first  of  November  and 
December  18  of  that  year.  The  date  on  Vol.  II  is  conceded  to  be  correct  by 
Sherborn  (I.e.).  The  plates  may  have  accompanied  the  text.

A  curious  old  work  on  song-birds  and  methods  of  catching  and  keeping  them. 
The  illustrations  are  all  woodcuts,  most  of  which  are  signed,  "lohannes  Maivs." 
Four  illustrations  are  duplicated  on  regular  leaves  and  five  on  inserts,  one  of 
the  former  being  overprinted  on  a  figure  which,  in  turn,  is  duplicated  on  one 
of  the  inserts.  One  of  the  inserts  is  not  elsewhere  printed.  These  inserts 
appear  to  be  proof-sheets  since  they  have  no  lettering  on  the  reverse  (as  in  the 
copies  elsewhere  in  the  book)  but  often  are  backed  by  poor  impressions  of  some 
other  figure;  they  are  pasted  on  blank  sheets.  The  copy  is  beautifully  bound 
in  crimson  morocco  with  gold  tooling,  the  binding  being  signed  by  "Chambolle- 
Duru."

A  work  on  the  eggs  of  the  birds  of  Holland,  of  unusual  merits.  The  plates  consist 
of  separate  figures  of  single  eggs  mounted  in  panels  with  a  very  pleasing  effect, 
and  the  representations  are  mostly  very  natural  and  accurate.  The  text  com- 
bines the  usual  tabulation  of  nidification-data  (placed  opposite  the  respective 
plates)  with  a  special  study  of  the  characteristics  of  the  eggs  of  the  different 
families  (placed  at  the  head  of  each  family).  This  study  embraces  the  texture, 
composition  and  pigmentation  of  the  shell,  the  dietary  and  other  causes  for 
variation  or  peculiarity  in  ground-color  or  markings,  and  similar  topics  not 
usually  discussed  in  oological  handbooks.  The  work  was  issued  in  7  parts, 
somewhat  as  follows.  Pt.  i,  pll.  i-io,  12,  13,  15,  16,  20,  23,  25,  27-29,  33-35,

were  observed  during  the  preceding  year,  and  closes  with  a  list  of  all  species  of 
birds  known  from  the  island.  A  third  part,  separately  (sub)titled  and,  accord- 
ing to  the  errata,  intended  to  be  separately  paged,  contains  the  descriptions  of 
three  Dominican  birds  considered  to  be  new, — Thalurania  belli,  Buteo  (latis- 
simus)  rivierei,  and  Septophaga  (sic)  (ruticitta)  tropica.

Descriptions  and  colored  plates  of  a  number  of  tropical  weaver-birds,  finches, 
and  tanagers.  According  to  Engelmann,  the  work  appeared  in  12  livraisons 
from  1805  onward.  The  Cat.  Libr.  Brit.  Mus.  (Nat.  Hist.),  quoting  the 
Journ.  Gen.  Lit.  France,  credits  Pts.  i  and  2  to  1805,  3  and  4  to  1806  and  5 
and  6  to  1808,  but  the  limits  of  the  various  parts  are  unknown.  On  p.  109 
there  is  a  reference  to  p.  239  of  Temminck's  "Catalogue  Systematique  du 
Cabinet  d'Ornithologie"  (1807  q.v.)  which  contained  a  criticism  of  matter 
published  on  p.  58  of  the  present  work;  hence  it  may  be  inferred  that  p.  58 
was  included  in  Pts.  1-4  and  that  p.  109  was  issued  in  or  after  1807.  On  p.  no, 
Temminck  is  called  the  author  of  the  "Histoire  des  Pigeons"  (Cf.  Knip,  Les 
Pigeons,  1809-11.)  the  first  number  of  which  appeared  in  1809;  hence  the  last 
number  of  the  present  work  may  be  supposed  to  have  been  issued  in  1809 
or  later.

Descriptions  of  many  North  American  birds,  with  hand-colored  plates  of  most 
of  them.  Great  uncertainty  exists  as  to  the  dates  of  appearance  of  this  work. 
Engelmann  notes  that  it  appeared  in  22  livraisons  of  6  pll.  each,  dating  1807 
and  "ann.  suiv."  Richmond  (Auk,  16,  p.  327,  1899)  gives  Dec.  i,  1807  as  the 
date  of  the  first  livraison.  Sherborn  (Index  Anim.,  Sec.  2,  Pt.  i,  p.  CXXVT, 
1922)  thinks  that  all  of  Vol.  I  should  be  dated  1807.  Owing  to  the  close  approxi- 
mation of  dates  in  Wilson's  "American  Ornithology,"  1808-14  (q.v.),  exact 
determination  of  the  dates  of  the  present  work  would  be  very  desirable  and 
may  necessitate  some  changes  of  nomenclature  when  they  are  fully  known. 
There  is  an  undated,  unsigned  manuscript  note  pasted  in  the  front  of  the  copy 
at  hand,  purporting  to  be  from  Desray,  the  editor  of  the  work,  advising  that 
22  livraisons  had  been  published  and  that  he  was  no  longer  connected  with  the 
work  and  had  no  intention  to  continue  it.  The  note  further  states  that  there 
were  two  formats,  a  "Jesus  Velin"  and  a  "Columbier,  aussi  Velin,"  of  which 
latter  there  were  but  20  copies  including  the  present  one.  Engelmann  cata- 
logues a  format  with  black  plates  in  addition  to  the  two  issues  here  mentioned. 
As  regards  the  apparent  incompleteness  of  the  work,  Vol.  I,  pp.  Ill  and  IV, 
contains  references  to  Vols.  Ill  and  IV  which  were  never  published.

An  essay  on  the  classification  of  birds,  with  diagnoses  of  the  genera  and  higher 
groups  and  the  nomination  of  one  or  more  species  (usually  in  vernacular)  for 
each  genus.  Many  of  the  generic  names  are  new  and  sixteen  new  species  are 
described  on  pp.  68  and  69.  The  receipt  of  the  work  was  acknowledged  in  the 
Bibliographie  de  la  France  on  April  14,  1816,  according  to  Mathews  (Birds 
of  Australia,  7,  p.  472,  1919).  The  original  is  quite  rare  but  has  been  reprinted 
by  the  Willughby  Society  in  1883  (q.v.).

Originally  planned  to  give  colored  figures  of  all  the  birds  in  the  galleries  of  the 
Paris  Museum,  accompanied  by  brief  general  accounts  of  each.  Six  livraisons 
were  issued  thus,  with  24  plates  by  Oudart  and  with  anonymous  text  which  is 
probably  also  by  Oudart  since  the  dedication  is  signed  by  him.  This  original 
matter  forms  the  variously  paged  text  and  the  unnumbered  plates  at  the  close 
of  Vol.  II.  The  enormity  of  this  project  caused  its  abandonment  and  the 
substitution  of  a  more  modest  program,  with  the  writing  of  the  text  assigned 
to  Vieillot,  and  livraisons  7-82  carried  the  work  to  completion. 

Considerable  confusion  exists  as  to  the  composition  of  the  various  livraisons, 
although  the  date  of  each  is  known  with  fair  accuracy  from  the  current  numbers 
of  the  Bibliographic  de  la  France,  quoted  by  Mathews  (Austr.  Av.  Rec.,  2,  No. 
7.  PP-  153-158,  1913).  In  general  there  were  4  colored  plates  to  each  livraison, 
but  there  were  exceptions  and  the  33  uncolored  plates  of  bills  and  feet  (pll. 
A-HH  in  Vol.  II)  were  distributed  over  the  course  of  the  work  where  their 
points  of  occurrence  are  uncertain.  The  citations  quoted  by  Mathews  give, 
in  most  cases,  the  number  of  plates  to  each  livraison  and  sometimes  indicate 
the  appearance  of  a  black  plate,  but  the  figures  fail  to  agree  with  other  known 
facts.  Livraisons  34,  55  and  58  are  said  to  contain  double  plates.  The  three 
double  (or  folded)  plates  of  the  work  are  107,  192  and  204,  and  these  are 
spaced  so  as  to  agree  with  each  other  and  with  the  number  of  plates  as  given 
for  the  intervening  livraisons.  However,  Mathews,  quoting  the  "Bulletin 
G^neYal  et  Universe!"  of  FeYussac,  shows  that  Livrs.  26-28  contained  Pll. 
76-87  (in  regular  order,  four  to  each  livraison),  and  these  figures  will  not  permit 
the  occurrence  of  PI.  107  in  Livr.  34  nor  with  PI.  i  in  Livr.  7.  Livr.  16  is  said 
to  be  missing  from  the  set  reviewed  in  the  Bibl.  de  la  France,  so  that  the  num- 
ber of  plates  contained  in  this  part  remains  a  matter  for  conjecture,  as  does 
the  proper  apportionment  of  some  plates  in  every  part  thereafter.  Further- 
more, it  is  impossible  to  correlate  the  number  of  plates  in  some  of  the  livraisons 
with  the  number  discussed  in  corresponding  signatures  of  text,  from  which  it 
appears  that  text  and  plates  were  not  always  synchronous  and  that  a  descrip- 
tion and  name  may  have  preceded  the  corresponding  figure  or  vice  versa. 
Irregularities  in  the  bound  copy  are  as  follows.  Parts  I  and  II  (Vol.  I)  are 
each  paged  separately;  Pts.  III-V  (Vol.  II)  continuously,  with  the  plates 
numbered  consecutively  from  Pt.  I  to  Pt.  V.  Plate  151  is  omitted  and  23  bis 
added.  PI.  300  occurs  between  232  and  233  and  301  between  292  and  293.

An  antiquated  manual  for  the  cage-bird  fancier.  The  exact  date  and  authorship 
are  uncertain.  Although  the  publisher's  name  on  the  title-page  is  almost  oblit- 
erated and  another  name  written  above  it,  on  p.  89  the  name  and  address  are 
reprinted,  thus  ascribing  the  authorship  to  J.  Tailor.  However,  Mullens  and 
Swann  cite  a  work  of  1728,  under  the  authorship  of  Thomas  Ward,  which  has 
a  nearly  identical  title  except  for  minor  differences  and  the  absence  of  the  words, 
"A  New  Edition."  The  resemblance  appears  to  be  carried  into  the  address  of 
the  writer  while  the  pagination  of  the  book  is  nearly  the  same.  It  seems 


1926.  CATALOGUE  OF  AYER  LIBRARY— ZIMMER.  663 

probable,  therefore,  that  the  book  is  a  copy  of  Ward's  work  and  that  J.  Tailor 
may  have  purchased  the  right  to  publish  it  along  with  the  business  at  The 
(Bell  and)  Bird-Cage,  all  of  which  may  have  been  transferred  later  t

A  series  of  essays  on  a  variety  of  subjects,  many  of  them  ornithological,  and  many 
reprinted  from  the  pages  of  Loudon's  Magazine  of  Natural  History, 
articles  are  often  controversial  or  contentious,  with  especial  direction  against 
Waterton's  literary  adversary,  William  Swainson.  As  shown  in  the  transcrip- 
tion of  title,  the  two  volumes  appear  to  belong  to  different  editions  although 
they  are  dated  the  same  year.  Both  volumes  in  their  first  edition  were  pub- 
lished somewhat  earlier -the  First  Series  in  1838  and  the  Second  Series 
1844-  the  Third  Series  appeared  even  later  than  the  present  reprints,  in  1857. 
The  pagination  of  the  original  edition  of  the  present  volumes  (as  given  by  Mul- 
lens and  Swann)  differs  from  the  reprints  at  hand,  but  I  think  the  subject 
matter  remains  unchanged.  The  present  copy  contains  the  autograph  d  eo.

Accounts  of  the  habits,  etc.,  of  the  birds  of  Ireland,  without  descriptions  of  plum- 
ages. Prepared  at  the  suggestion  of  William  Thompson  who  regretted  the 
excessive  cost  of  his  own  "Natural  History  of  Ireland,"  1849-56  (q.v.),  and 
expressed  a  desire  to  see  a  cheap  work  published  on  the  same  subject.  Many 
interesting  field  observations  are  recorded  in  this  little  work.

1841.  Dresser  (A  History  of  the  Birds  of  Europe,  1871-82,  q.v.)  cites  1841,

and  483) ;  a  number  of  references  are  given  in  the  work  itself  to  publications 
dated  1840.  The  paper  describes  108  species  of  birds,  5  of  which  are  new,  and 
gives  observations  on  habits  based  on  the  field  notes  of  Webb  and  Berthelot 
(Sept.  i828-April  1830)  together  with  other  critical  discussions.  The  orni- 
thology has  been  quoted  variously  as  of  Webb  and  Berthelot,  of  Moquin- 
Tandon,  and  of  all  three  authors,  the  last  being  indicated  by  the  subtitle-page

A  series  of  colored  plates  illustrating  the  species  of  European  birds  described  by 
C.  J.  Temminck  in  the  second  edition  of  his  "Manuel  d'Ornithologie,"  1820-40 
(q.v.).  The  only  text  is  the  table  of  species  on  pp.  1-27  of  Vol.  I,  this  being 
copied,  in  slightly  altered  form,  from  the  correlative  table  in  Temminck's 
"Manuel,"  Ed.  2,  Vol.  Ill  pp.  661-691,  but  containing  the  same  references  to 
the  several  volumes  of  that  work.  This  atlas  was  issued  originally  in  livraisons 
(Engelmann  gives  55)  of  10  pll.  each  (up  to  livr.  50)  under  cover-title  of  "Atlas 
des  Oiseaux  d'Europe,  pour  servir  de  complement  au  Manuel  d'Ornithologie 
de  M.  Temminck"  (Cf.  the  "Manuel,"  Ed.  2,  Vol.  Ill,  p.  LXX.).  This  title, 
apparently,  was  afterward  changed  to  "Atlas  des  Oiseaux  d'Europe  d'apres 
C.  J.  Temminck"  on  the  title-pages  furnished  at  the  completion  of  the  work

[?  Cf.  Cat.  Libr.  Brit.  Mus.  (Nat.  Hist.)].  In  this  original  form  the  work 
occupies  3  vols.  (Brit.  Mus.)  for  which  the  dates  are  given  by  the  Cat.  Libr. 
Brit.  Mus.  (Nat.  Hist.)  as  1826,  1828  and  1842;  the  publishers  are  given  by 
Engelmann  as  Belin  and  H.  Cousin.  The  32nd  livraison  was  on  sale  at  the  time 
of  publication  of  Vol.  Ill  of  Temminck's  "Manuel"  in  April  1835,  according  to 
a  statement  on  p.  LXX  of  that  volume.  The  present  copy  belongs  to  a  later 
reissue,  possibly  consisting  of  the  original  plates  with  new  title-pages.  The  work 
was  sold  with  or  without  Temminck's  volumes.

A  concise  manual  of  the  birds  found  in  Ohio,  with  descriptions  of  species,  genera 
and  higher  groups,  synonymy  and  distribution  of  species,  and  notes  on  the 
habits  and  local  occurrence  of  each.  Several  synoptic  tables  are  given  and  an 
appendix  contains  a  check-list  of  species  with  dates  of  occurrence,  a  list  of  birds 
observed  in  the  author's  garden  at  Columbus,  additions  and  corrections,  a 
bibliography,  a  reprint  of  a  paper  by  the  author  on  patterns  of  coloration, 
and  a  glossary  of  technical  terms.  The  work  was  long  delayed  in  publication. 
It  was  begun  in  1873,  started  through  the  press  in  1879,  completed  in  1881  and 
actually  published  late  in  1882  (Cf.  Coues,  Bull.  Nuttall  Orn.  Club,  8,  April 
1883,  pp.  IIO-H2.).  It  was  revised  in  1903  and  brought  up  to  date  by  Lynds 
Jones  in  the  "Ohio  State  Acad.  Science,  Special  Papers  No.  6,  The  Birds  of

(col. ;  birds,  by  G.  G.  White,  T.  R.  Peale,  W.  E.  Hitchcock  and  E. 
Sheppard).  Philadelphia. 

These  two  volumes  together  constitute  the  revised  Vol.  VIII  of  the  complete 
report  of  the  Expedition  (which  visited  numerous  localities  in  a  voyage  around 
the  world).  Vol.  VIII  originally  was  prepared  by  Titian  Ramsay  Peale,  the 
Ornithologist  and  Mammalogist  of  the  Expedition,  and  was  published  in  1848 
without  plates.  Carus  and  Engelmann  cite  15  pll.  of  mammals  and  84  pll. 
of  birds,  but  Hartlaub,  in  a  critical  review  of  the  ornithology  of  Peale's  work 
(Archiv  fur  Naturg.,  18  Jahrg.,  Bd.  i,  pp.  93-138,  1852),  although  he  quotes 
plate-numbers  for  the  various  species,  says  that  he  had  never  seen  the  plates 
and  that  no  copy  of  them  had  reached  Europe.  Jardine  (Contributions  to 
Ornithology,  1851,  p.  113;  idem,  1852,  pp.  89-90)  cites  a  copy  of  the  work 
without  plates  received  by  the  British  Museum  and  notes  that  the  atlas  was 
never  completed.  Stone  (Cassinia,  No.  19,  pp.  10-11,  1915)  states  that  Peale's 
report  was  issued  without  the  plates  which  he  had  prepared. 

Only  loo  copies  of  the  original  volume  were  "printed  for  distribution  amongst 
foreign  governments  and  by  some  legislative  errors  none  were  printed  for 
distribution  at  home";  of  the  number  printed,  about  90  were  distributed,  many 
of  them  going  to  countries  without  scientific  establishments,  and  the  remainder 
were  destroyed  accidentally  in  a  fire  in  the  Library  of  Congress.  Later,  Cassin 
was  commissioned  to  rewrite  the  volume,  and  this  new  work,  with  some  of 
Peale's  unpublished  plates  and  with  various  illustrations  by  other  artists,  was 
issued  in  its  present  form  in  1858  (Stone,  I.e.,  says  1852  in  error;  the  preface 
is  dated  May  10,  1858).  The  original  edition  is,  of  course,  extremely  rare. 

In  the  present  edition  of  the  text,  pp.  67-416  are  occupied  by  the  descriptive 
account  of  the  birds,  428-452  by  the  ornithological  part  (Pt.  II)  of  the  catalogue 
of  the  collections  of  mammals  and  birds  made  by  the  expedition,  and  453-466 
by  the  general  index,  including  both  mammals  and  birds.  Cassin's  general 
text  takes  no  account  of  many  of  Peale's  newly  described  species,  even  omitting 
certain  of  his  names  from  the  synonymy.  However,  in  the  catalogue  of  the 
collections,  these  omitted  names  are  given,  together  with  a  transcript  of  Peale's 
original  descriptions.

The  cornerstone  of  modern  systematic  ornithology,  being  the  first  book  on  the 
classification  of  birds  without  respect  to  geographical  boundaries.  The  manu- 
script was  left  in  an  imperfect  state  by  Willughby  at  his  death  and  was  arranged 
and  completed  by  Ray.  The  work  contains  descriptions  of  all  the  birds  known 
to  the  authors  or  adjudged  by  them  to  be  sufficiently  authenticated  by  the 
published  accounts  of  others.  It  is  divided  into  three  parts,  the  first  of  which 
treats  of  birds  in  general,  the  second  of  land  birds,  and  the  third  of  water  b 
The  second  and  third  books  are  divided  into  several  parts,  each  of  which  is 
divided  into  heads  and  each  of  those  into  articles,  each  division  being  charac- 
terized by  some  peculiarity  or  group  of  peculiarities.  The  scheme  of  classifi- 
cation thus  adopted  is  epitomized  on  the  insert-slips  at  pp.  25  and  199.  An 
appendix,  pp.  297-307,  compiled  principally  from  J.  E.  Nuremberg's 
Naturae  Libro  Decimo,  1635,  discusses  a  number  of  birds  of  doubtful  authen 
ticity  or  of  previous,  insufficient  description.  An  English  translation,  witl 
further  additions,  was  issued  by  Ray  in  1678  under  the  title  of  "The  Orni 
of  Francis  Willughby"  (q.v.).

1880-84.  This  society  was  established  on  May  7,  1 879  for  the  purpose 
of  reprinting  certain  ornithological  works  interesting  for  their  utility 
or  rarity.  From  1880  to  1884,  twelve  books  or  collections  of  writings 
were  reprinted  verbatim  et  literatim  or  in  facsimile.  For  convenience, 
these  reprints  are  here  catalogued  under  their  respective  authors 
(q.v.).  The  works  are  as  follows.  Those  preceded  by  an  asterisk 
are  titles  of  the  reprints  only;  the  others  are  the  original  titles  of 
the  works  reprinted.

In  1824,  Ord  published  a  reissue  of  Vols.  VII  and  VIII  with  numerous 
changes  in  the  nomenclature  of  the  species  (Cf.  ed.  1824.),  and  with  other  alter- 
ations in  the  text;  Vol.  IX  was  reissued  similarly  in  1825.  Vols.  VII  and 
VIII  of  the  set  in  hand  belong  to  this  reissue.  Subsequently,  various  editions 
appeared  from  time  to  time  under  different  editors.  Those  at  hand  for  com- 
parison are  as  follows.  Ord  edition,  3  vols.  and  atlas,  1828-9;  Jameson  ed.f 
4  vols.,  1831;  Jardine  ed.,  3  vols.  1832;  Brewer,  ed.,  i  vol.,  1840;  Brewer  ed., 
i  vol.,  1853;  Jardine  ed.,  3  vols.,  1876;  Jardine  ed.,  3  vols.,  1877;  "Popular 
Edition"  (Porter  &  Coates,  Philadelphia),  3  vols.  in  i,  1878.  Charles  Lucien 
Bonaparte,  in  1824-25,  published  (in  the  Journal  of  the  Academy  of  Natural 
Sciences  of  Philadelphia)  a  series  of  articles  (five  in  all)  entitled,  "Observations 
on  the  Nomenclature  of  Wilson's  Ornithology."  These  form  a  critical  review 
of  Wilson's  species' so  far  as  they  go,  although  they  do  not  discuss  the  entire 
number.  Following  this  series  of  articles,  Bonaparte,  from  1825  to  1833, 
published,  in  4  vols.,  an  "American  Ornithology;  or  the  Natural  History  of 
Birds  inhabiting  the  United  States,  not  given  by  Wilson"  (q.v.),  which  forms 
a  sort  of  supplement  to  Wilson  and  which  is  incorporated  in  the  Jameson, 
Jardine  and  "Popular"  editions  of  Wilson  mentioned  above.  These  editions 
are  all  ascribed,  on  their  title-pages,  to  Wilson  and  Bonaparte  as  co-authors.

revised,  in  1825,  but  it  seems  to  have  been  issued  under  a  special  title  as 
given  below.  Jameson,  in  the  preface  to  his  edition  of  Wilson  (Vol.  I,  p.  VII), 
says  that  in  1825  Ord  was  employed  to  prepare  new  editions  of  the  seventh, 
eighth  and  ninth  volumes,  which  he  did  with  considerable  additions;  and

Brewer  in  his  1840  edition  of  Wilson,  p.  633,  foota.,  says  that  the  revised  copy 
of  Vol  IX  appeared  in  1825  "correcting  several  mistakes  which  had  appeared 
in  the  first  "  The  revised  ninth  volume,  then,  is  probably  the  "  'Supplement 
by  Ord  Thila.  1825'  "  mentioned  (but  not  seen)  by  Coues  and  catalogued  by 
Carus  and  Engelmann  under  the  following  title -"Ord,  George,  Supplement 
to  the  American  Ornithology  of  Alexander  Wilson;  containing  a  Sketch  of  the 
Author's  Life,  with  a  Selection  from  his  Letters;  some  remarks  upon  his  Writ-

(n  v  )  and  it  seems  probable  that  the  text  in  that  edition,  relating  to  the  species 
discussed  in  the  original  Vol.  IX  of  Wilson,  is  the  text  of  that  volume  as  revised 
in  1825  (Cf.  Ord's  ed.  for  further  discussion.).  The  editorial  prefaces  to  the 
reprints  of  VII  and  VIII  are  dated,  respectively,  May  i  and  June  i,  1824.

The  first  new  edition  of  Wilson's  entire  work  (1808-14,  q-v.),  arranged  in  the 
systematic  sequence  of  the  species,  not  in  the  irregular  order  of  the  original. 
The  editor  states  that  he  "has  adhered  to  the  original  text,  correcting  only  some 
erroneous  references,  and  a  few  verbal  inaccuracies,  most  of  which  were  prob- 
ably typographical  errors."  However,  considerable  new  matter  is  added  in  the 
form  of  footnotes  or  supplementary  remarks;  some  of  the  latter  are  signec 
Ord  —some  are  not  signed.  They  agree,  for  the  most  part,  with  the  additions 
made  by  Ord  in  his  revision  of  Vols.  VII  and  VIII  (ed.  1824,  q.v.)  and  appear 
to  comprise  the  same  matter  which  is  added  in  this  way  so  as  to  disturb  Wils  m  s 
text  as  little  as  possible.  References  are  frequently  made  to  '  Ord  s  repri: 
in  this  connection.  The  matter  contained  in  the  original  Vol.  IX  is  treated  in 
a  different  manner.  Original  text  and  nomenclature  of  that  volume  are  aban-

doned  and  a  version  given  which  is  credited  to  "Mr.  Ord's  Supplementary 
Volume," — probably  the  revision  of  Vol.  IX  published  in  1825  following  the 
revised  editions  of  VII  and  VIII.  Since  the  original  Vol.  IX  was  written  by 
Ord  after  Wilson's  death,  liberties  with  the  original  copy  were  more  permissible 
here  than  with  Wilson's  own  text.  The  sketch  of  Wilson's  life,  in  Vol.  I  of  the 
present  edition,  is  considerably  expanded  from  that  published  in  the  last  volume 
of  the  original  work,  although  both  are  from  the  pen  of  Ord.  Ord  is  sometimes 
quoted  as  the  editor  of  the  present  edition,  but  the  acknowledgment  made  in 
the  editorial  preface  to  the  "valuable  counsel  and  assistance"  of  that  gentle- 
man, seems  to  open  the  question  to  some  doubt.  The  hand-colored  drawings 
in  the  Atlas  are  from  the  original  copper-plates  (with  the  addition  of  the  number 
added  backwards  to  pi.  44;  missing  in  the  original),  colored  anew  from  fresh 
or  preserved  material,  with  pigments  which  seem  to  have  been  of  better  quality 
than  those  used  by  Wilson.  In  the  copy  at  hand,  the  colors  are  as  bright  and 
fresh  as  if  lately  applied,  whereas  in  the  copy  examined  of  the  original,  there 
are  few  tints  which  have  not  suffered  and  some  which  have  completely  dis- 
integrated. An  examination  of  the  clearest  of  the  originals  and  the  copy, 
shows  that  there  are  some  differences  in  coloration  of  the  two,  aside  from  those 
due  to  fading.

Vols.  I-III  are  devoted  to  a  reprint  of  Wilson's  work  (1808-14,  q.v.),  rearranged 
and  with  occasional  editorial  notes  by  Jameson.  Reference  is  given  under 
each  species  to  the  number  of  Wilson's  original  plate  and  a  notation  is  made 
if  the  species  is  represented  in  the  Edinburgh  College  Museum,  but  the  syn- 
onymy is  transferred  to  a  separate  place  at  the  end  of  Vol.  Ill  where  it  is  ar- 
ranged in  the  order  adopted  for  the  text.  A  number  of  Ord's  notes  and 
comments  are  printed  with  due  credit.  A  sketch  of  the  life  of  Wilson  is  given 
in  Vol.  I,  written  by  W.  M.  Hetherington.  Vol.  IV  (pp.  1-217)  contains  a 
reprint  of  the  first  three  volumes  of  Bonaparte's  "American  Ornithology," 
1825-33  (q.v.),  with  the  synonymy  transferred  to  pp.  219-238.  On  pp.  241-244 
there  is  a  catalogue  of  the  species  described  and  figured  by  Audubon  in  his  "Orni- 
thological Biography,"  1831-39,  and  "Birds  of  America,"  1827-38  (q.v.).  The 
remainder  of  the  volume  consists  of  extracts  made  from  the  proof-sheets  of 


1926.  CATALOGUE  OF  AVER  LIBRARY— ZIMMER.  683 

Richardson  and  Swainson's  "Fauna  Boreali-Americana"  or  "Northern  Zool- 
ogy," 1832,  including  diagnoses  of  numerous  new  species,  and  with  annotations 
after  other  authors.  As  credit  is  given  to  Richardson  and  Swainson  for  the 
quotations,  authorship  should  remain  with  them  although  the  present  volume 
may  have  appeared  in  advance  of  the  "Fauna  BoreaU- Americana."  Unfor- 
tunately there  are  a  number  of  typographical  errors  which  may  likewise  have 
to  be  credited  to  them  such  as  Larus  Rosii  on  p.  245  and  Calymbris  glacialis 
on  p.  358  (both  nomina  nuda).  A  publishers'  note  in  Vol.  I  is  dated  April 
1831,  and  one  in  Vol.  IV,  August  1831.  The  work  forms  Vols.  LXVIII-LXXI 
of  "Constable's  Miscellany."  Coues  notes  his  copy  as  without  any  other  illus- 
trations than  the  portrait  of  Wilson  in  Vol.  I,  but  the  present  set  has  an  engraved 
plate  in  each  volume  in  addition  to  the  portrait  in  the  first  volume.  The 
publishers'  note  in  Vol.  I  announces  the  publication  of  Part  I  of  Captain  Thomas 
Brown's  "Illustrations  of  American  Ornithology"  as  a  companion  to  the  four 
volumes  of  letterpress  here  collated  (Cf .  Brown,  Capt.  Thomas,  Illustrations 
of  the  Game  Birds  of  North  America,  1834.).  This  is  announced  only  in  medium 
folio  and  elephant  folio  but  there  was,  apparently,  an  edition  the  same  size 
as  the  letterpress  in  course  of  publication  at  the  same  time,  of  which  only  one 
or  two  incomplete  copies  are  known.  A  discussion  of  this  publication  is  given 
by  Walter  Faxon  in  the  Auk,  20,  pp.  236-241,  1903,  and  Auk,  36,  pp.  623-626, 
1919. 

In  Vol.  Ill,  on  p.  98,  "Rubicola  Vieill."  is  used  for  the  Woodcock, 
evidently  a  misprint  for  "Rusticola  Vieill.,"  but  may  be  valid  since  it  antedates 
Philohela  Gray,  1841.    Cf.  Ridgway,  U.  S.  Nat.  Mus.  Bull.  50,  Vol.  8,  pp.  155

voluminous  notes  by  Jardine;  Vol.  Ill,  pp.  259-507,  contains  a  reprint  of  the

engraved  by  Lizars  on  a  reduced  scale  and  hand-colored,  except  for  the  back- 
grounds which  are  left  plain.  The  coloration  usually  shows  considerable 
departure  from  that  of  the  original  plates,  and  the  backgrounds  are  sometimes 
modified.  Vol.  I,  pp.  IX-CVII  contains  a  life  of  Wilson  by  Jardine.  The 
editorial  notes  are  detailed  and  critical  and  contain  references  to  many  con- 
temporary publications,  including  Richardson  and  Swainson's  "Fauna  Boreali 
Americana,"  1832  (q.v.).  The  synonymy  of  the  various  species  is  brought 
strictly  up  to  date.

The  plates  contain  the  figures  from  Wilson's  drawings,  rearranged  and  combined 
on  a  fewer  number  of  plates,  very  much  reduced  in  size  and  uncolored;  those 
from  pll.  75  and  76  of  the  original  are  separated,  redrawn  and  inserted  as 
text-figures.  At  the  close  of  the  volume,  pp.  682-746,  Brewer  gives  a  "Synopsis 
of  the  birds  of  North  America,"  a  list  of  491  species  with  descriptions  of  those 
not  included  by  Wilson,  synonymy  and  some  biographical  notes.  This  edition 
was  reprinted  in  cheaper  form  in  1853  (q.v.).  The  title-page  is  missing  from 
the  present  copy,  for  which  reason  I  have  quoted  the  engraved  title  which  is 
somewhat  different  from  the  full  title  as  quoted  by  Coues  for  this  work.  The 
latter  is  the  same  as  quoted  for  the  reprint  of  1853,  except  for  the  imprint  and 
date  which  are  as  given  above  in  the  transcript  of  the  engraved  title  and  the 
collation.

Up  to  p.  400  of  Vol.  Ill,  the  present  edition  is  a  copy  of  the  text  of  the  1832 
Jardine  edition  of  Wilson  and  Bonaparte;  the  remainder  of  the  work  is  a  copy 
of  the  fourth  volume  of  Bonaparte's  "American  Ornithology,"  1825-33  (with- 
out the  editorial  annotations),  which  had  not  been  published  at  the  date  of  the 
earlier  work.  The  plates  are  from  the  same  engravings  by  Lizars  as  in  the  1832 
edition,  except  for  pll.  22-27  (belonging  to  Vol.  IV  of  Bonaparte);  the  latter 
are  reduced  to  the  same  scale  as  the  others  but  the  engraver's  name  is  not  given. 
The  plates  are  hand-colored  but  the  coloring  is  exaggerated  and  not  a  close 
copy  of  the  original.

Each  species  or  subspecies  is  concisely  described  and  some  one  of  i 
tinguishing  characteristics  noted,  while  on  the  opposite  page  the  distribution 
is  stated  and,  in  most  cases,  delineated  on  a  small  map  accompanied  by  a  pen-

good  although  some  of  them  have  suffered  partial  obliteration  of  detail  through 
too  much  reduction  in  size.  At  the  rear  of  the  volume  are  field  color  keys  to 
the  species  of  certain  families  and  a  check-list  of  all  the  forms  described  in  the

A  series  of  monographs  of  various  groups  of  birds,  prepared  by  different  workers 
and  issued  from  time  to  time.  The  intention  was  to  have  the  complete  senes 
embrace  all  avian  groups,  but,  up  to  date,  only  those  f  amilies  have  been  treated 
which  are  included  in  the  above  list;  the  death  of  the  editor  has  probably  ter- 
minated the  project.  . 

The  dates  on  the  original  wrappers  are  not  reliable.  Dr.  Hellmayr  informs

For  many  years  a  standard  work  on  the  natural  history  of  British  birds.  Prepared 
on  the  style  of  Bewick  and  Beilby's  "History  of  British  Birds,"  1797-1804 
(q.v.)-  Issued  in  37  parts  of  three  sheets  each,  at  intervals  of  two  months, 
according  to  a  note  in  the  preface,  p.  V  of  Vol.  I.  The  first  part  was  issued  in 
July  1837  and  the  last  in  May  1843;  probably  Pts.  36  and  37  appeared  together 
on  the  latter  date  with  addenda  to  Vols.  I  and  II  constituting  the  last  part. 
A  second  edition  appeared  in  1845,  together  with  a  supplement  (q.v.)  to  the 
present  edition,  bringing  it  up  to  date;  a  third  edition  (q.v.)  and  second  sup- 
plement (q.v.)  were  used  in  1856;  a  fourth  edition  (q.v.)  (edited  by  Newton  and 
Saunders)  was  published  in  1871-85.  "An  Illustrated  Manual  of  British  Birds" 
by  Saunders,  1889  (q.v.),  partakes  of  the  nature  of  a  condensed  revision  of  the 
present  work.  The  first  edition  of  Yarrell  was  published  also  in  demy  8vo, 
8vo,  and  imperial  8vo. 

The  addenda  to  Vols.  I  and  II,  including  full  title-pages  and  illustrated 
discussions  of  additional  species,  are  paged  for  insertion  in  their  respective 
volumes  but,  in  the  copy  at  hand,  are  bound  as  issued,  at  the  close  of  Vol.  III. 
The  preface  to  Vol.  I  is  also  included  among  the  addenda  and  contains  some 
additional  remarks  on  certain  species  which  are  discussed  in  the  first  two 
volumes.
